Question
My daughter is 2 and a half years old, and she usually urinates 2 to 3 times at night. She goes to bed around 9:00 pm and wakes up around 8:00 am. Is this bedwetting? How can I prevent bedwetting? What dietary precautions should I take to prevent bedwetting?
Answer
The causes of bedwetting in children include genetic factors, deep sleep, delayed maturation of bladder function, stress, disease factors, and endocrine factors. Preventive measures include adjusting the schedule, avoiding excessive fatigue before bedtime, controlling fluid intake before sleep, maintaining a harmonious family environment, early diagnosis and treatment of related diseases, and adjusting dietary habits. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid excessive intake of diuretic foods, maintain a balanced diet, and consume foods containing arginine vasopressin (AVP) in appropriate amounts.
