Question
My child is particularly lively and has poor control abilities. He is now three and a half years old and often wets the bed at night, requiring a change of bedsheet every day. I’ve heard that other children stop wetting the bed by the time they are two and a half. Is it normal for a three-and-a-half-year-old to wet the bed? This is really worrying me.
Answer
It is normal for a three-and-a-half-year-old child to experience bedwetting, as their brain nervous system is still underdeveloped during infancy, which can easily lead to increased excitability and symptoms of urination. Generally, these can be regulated by enhancing nutrition, and it is also important to observe for signs of urinary tract infections, and a routine urine test can be conducted for confirmation. It is recommended that you check with a professional hospital.
