Question

A three-year-old boy still wets the bed, and his parents have tried various methods without success. They want to know at what age children typically stop wetting the bed at night and whether bedwetting at the age of three is a normal phenomenon.

Answer

Generally, as children grow older, the likelihood of bedwetting decreases after the age of one and a half, and most children can control their urination by the time they are two to three years old. For children under three years of age, if bedwetting persists, parents should gradually guide their children through exercises. It is recommended to extend the interval between urinations during the day as much as possible, encourage the reduction of milk and fluid intake before bedtime, and cultivate the habit of waking up in the middle of the night to urinate.
