Question
What are the reasons for a 5-year-old wetting the bed at night? My child is already five years old, but they still wet the bed at night. Why is this happening? How long does it usually take for a child to stop wetting the bed?
Answer
If an infant occasionally wets the bed one or two times at night, it might be due to the baby being too tired or too stressed. This is a normal occurrence. If the baby frequently wets the bed, it’s necessary to pay attention to several aspects. Firstly, it’s important to provide educational guidance rather than blaming. Establish good living habits for the baby, ensuring they have adequate nap time during the day, and no water should be given to the baby after 6 PM to allow as much urination as possible before bedtime. Adults can help the baby get up at night. Provide more confidence and encouragement to the baby. If necessary, combine enemas or massage; massage tends to be more effective.
