Bedwetting, also known as “nocturnal enuresis”, is a common issue among children, typically settling as they grow older. It’s defined as involuntary urination during sleep, with many kids experiencing it until the age of five or even older.

Factors that can contribute to bedwetting include deep sleep, small bladder capacity, or increased urine production overnight. In some cases, it could also be linked to stress or genetics (e.g. if there is a family history of bedwetting). Strategies to manage bedwetting often involve positive reinforcement, fluid management before bedtime, and bladder training exercises. If the problem persists or is concerning, it’s important to consult a doctor or other healthcare provider to rule out underlying medical issues and to discuss potential treatments.
