Question
My child, who is 3 weeks old, wets the bed every night. She is woken up every two hours to urinate, but still wets the bed. She drinks very little water during the day and almost none at night. She will call out during the day, but at night, she wets the bed without waking up. Before 4 a.m., she is woken up 3 to 4 times to urinate, but she still wets the bed. What is the problem? Previous treatment and effectiveness: Not treated. I would like to get help on how to prevent her from wetting the bed.
Answer
Common causes of bedwetting in children include genetic factors, diseases and physiological factors, and mental factors, such as children being overly tired or excited during the day. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a check-up to rule out organic diseases and to cultivate the habit of urinating in bed on their own. In addition, parents should avoid over-excitement before their child’s nap and require them to empty their bladder before napping.
