Girls bedwetting (4-10 y) · Asked by Anonymous over 2 years ago

Dr Cathrine Answered:

It is perfectly normal for your daughter to still be wetting the bed at night with almost 1 in 10 4-year-olds continuing to wet the bed on a regular basis. Children wet the bed for a number of reasons, some do so because they produce double the amount of urine overnight, others do so as they are unable to wake to the signal that their bladder is full and needs to be emptied. It is unlikely that her bedwetting has anything to do with the fact that she has a younger sibling. The majority of children your daughter’s age will outgrow bedwetting on their own without the need for treatment. You can encourage a healthy bladder by making sure she drinks plenty of water throughout the day, eats lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and limits fizzy drinks – particularly before bedtime.

Regards,
Dr Cathrine
