Question
My child is two years old and has recently started wetting the bed. This has never happened before, and I’m wondering if there might be a problem or if I need to take them to see a doctor?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be experiencing enuresis, which typically occurs in children over three years old. The child may urinate involuntarily during deep sleep, possibly several times a night or even once every few nights. For this situation, it’s advisable to first observe the child’s sleep habits and lifestyle, reduce fluid intake before bedtime, ensure the child has a regular schedule for urination, and avoid giving them overly stimulating activities before sleep. If the problem persists or worsens, it is recommended to take the child to see a doctor for further examination to understand if there are other potential underlying causes.
