Question
Because the parents need to work, the child is taken care of by the grandmother, and it’s cold outside, the elderly are reluctant to wake the child up at night to urinate. Is this a cause of the child’s bedwetting?
Answer
Improper urination habit training may lead to bedwetting in children. A common situation is not conducting timely urination training for babies, especially common in excessively pampered children. For example, some mothers use disposable diapers for too long or are reluctant to wake the child up at night, holding the child to urinate while the baby is not fully awake. This easily fosters a habit of urinating in a daze, thereby preventing the baby from developing a habit of self-control over urination.
