Answer
It is normal for a child to occasionally wet the bed after the age of 4, which is medically referred to as physiological enuresis. Most children stop wetting the bed at night by the age of 5. It is recommended to first carefully check for any possible hidden spinal defects, and also be mindful not to overexert during the day. Otherwise, if a child sleeps too deeply at night, they may not wake up when they have urine, leading to bedwetting. Of course, it is also important to prevent drinking too much water before bedtime.
