Product Information

Managing children’s bedwetting can be incredibly tricky, partly because we often do not understand the underlying cause and partly because there are so many mixed messages out there about how best to proceed. Dear Wills, while it is certainly possible that your son will outgrow bedwetting on his own, the chances of children doing this reduce, as they get older. Hi Dhurba, The best form of treatment is the conditioning alarm – this does not always work at first and may take up to 6 months of constant use.

Dear Jacob, while I completely understand your sons reluctance to speak to anyone about this and your desire not to push the issue, any form of daytime wetting after the age of 5 years really needs to be investigated by a doctor. Hi Heather - There is financial support available through the Continence Aids Payment Scheme (CAPS) for parents of children who suffer from nighttime incontinence. While it is not unusual for 7-year-old children to wet the bed at night, uncontrolled bowel movements are much less common. Your son may be experiencing encopresis which simply refers to uncontrolled soiling in children who are four years of age or older.

Many parents (and children) choose to use DryNites to reduce the stress associated with children waking-up in wet sheets as well as the added laundry burden. If your son is in fact only wetting his DryNites after he wakes then the focus needs to be placed less on his wetting and more on the reasons for him doing it. Hi Balaram, Your son is experiencing secondary enuresis which occurs when a child has had proper control over their bladder during the night for a period of six months or more then begins to wet again. Hi Kim, the best way to help young children understand emotions is to help them to contextualize their feelings.

The most common reason is an improper fit – absorbent pants that are too large or small can cause leakage. Dear Roxy, it is not unusual for children to continue to wet the bed at age 3 with many children not experiencing nighttime dryness until age 4. This term is used to describe the condition where an individual begins to wet the bed after experiencing a significant period of nighttime continence. A very common cause of encopresis (voluntary or involuntary passing of stools) is constipation so it would be worthwhile having him checked by a GP. Bedwetting can be incredibly frustrating particularly when you feel like you have tried it all and still you continue to wet at night.Hi Renee - helping children to achieve nighttime continence works a little differently to daytime training. Dear Teri, the best indication that you daughter is ready to move out of DryNites is an increase in the number of consecutive nights where she wakes up dry.
