My three year old daughter will be dry most of the time then will wet the bed 2 to 3 nights in a row, then back to being dry. I can't seem to pin point any pattern or fix it. How long do you think this may go on for? She also will not get herself up and go to the toilet she will sing out for me to take her, this I don't mind but some times she is wetting as I arrive in the room or on our way to the toilet.
firstly, let me apologise for the delay in getting back to you I have had an overwhelming number of questions to answer over the past two weeks. When children are moving toward attaining nighttime dryness it is quite typical for them to experience times where they wake up wet for a few mornings followed by a period of dry nights – and no, there usually is no pattern to it. As you probably already know – it is perfectly normal for a 3-year-old girl to still be experiencing urinary incontinence at night. It is very difficult to predict when she will stop however the fact that her wetting is so sporadic indicates that she is well on her way to achieving dryness. You can help her to stay dry by making sure that she has easy access to the toilet at night – some young children continue to wet at night because they are too scared to get out of bed by themselves and go to the toilet. Talk to her and make sure there isn’t anything scaring her – often a hall light or a small night light can make a difference. You should also make sure that she isn’t drinking sugary or fizzy drinks in the afternoon or evening as this will only increase the amount of urine her kidneys produce making it harder for her hold on until morning. Good luck – it sounds like dry nights are not too far away!
