Reasons and Solutions for an 8-Year-Old Child Still Wetting the Bed

Question

An 8-year-old boy still experiences bedwetting, despite reducing his fluid intake. Is this situation normal?

Answer

If an 8-year-old child continues to wet the bed, it is an unusual phenomenon, as generally, children should have the ability to get up at night to use the bathroom by the age of three. It is recommended to first check if the child’s daily life is too tiring, making it difficult to get up at night. Additionally, avoid excessive fluid intake before bedtime and reduce the consumption of high-water-content fruits. Parents can also set an alarm clock at night to remind the child to get up at regular intervals to use the bathroom, fostering good bathroom habits.
