Question
My child is 6 years old now, and still wets the bed every night. I don’t let the child drink too much water at night, but the child is unaware and always wets the bed. What could be the reason for a 6-year-old baby still wetting the bed?
Answer
The child’s bedwetting behavior is likely a habit, possibly caused by wearing diapers for a long time. I suggest setting a regular time to wake the child up to urinate, which will gradually improve over time. Although you control the child’s water intake, eating fruits and other foods can also increase urine production. Therefore, waking the child up at regular intervals to urinate is a better approach. By consistently doing so, the child will gradually develop the habit.
