What should I do if my child is almost 5 years old and still wets the bed frequently?

When I saw this topic, I couldn't help but think of my children. My children are also 5 years old, and they often wet the bed at night, and I used to be very troubled, but after my husband and I worked together, the children finally overcame this problem. The following is only my personal experience to give advice to mothers.

One. The first thing to do is to find the right cause for your child's bedwetting.

If the child wets the bed, the mother should first think about whether the child drinks more water or eats something with more water within an hour before going to bed, if so, then show your tolerance to forgive the child. If you have a large amount of water before bedtime, it is easy to increase the amount of urine metabolized by children, and even adults will feel the same way. If you drink water before going to bed, you will feel anxious in the middle of the night.

There are also times because the child is too tired to play during the day, sleeps very solidly, can't control himself, and wets the bed unconsciously, in this case, the mother should try to control the child's activity during the day, so as not to let the child be overly excited or tired.

Two. Make sure your child goes to the toilet before going to bed. Every day before your child goes to bed, be sure to let your child go to the toilet, and try to empty his bladder, regardless of whether he urinate or not.

Over time, children form a habit and know before going to bed that they need to go to the toilet to get ready for bed. This can not only reduce the child's physical burden, but also reduce the child's psychological burden of being afraid of bedwetting.

Three. If the child wets the bed, parents must not blame and scold. Since the children are already 5 years old, the children already understand that bedwetting is a very embarrassing thing, and if the parents complain and blame again, the children will feel more guilty and guilty.

Parents should be calm, ask the child if he felt when he wetted the bed last night, patiently communicate with the child, and tell the child not to be too nervous, just pay attention next time.

Four. Parents grasp the approximate time of bedwetting in the middle of the night, and then set an alarm clock half an hour in advance, tell the child to get up and go to the toilet when he hears the alarm clock, if the child can't get up when he hears the alarm clock, the parents will gently call the child to get up, and you can accompany the child at the beginning, and slowly the child can form a conditioned reflex, and get up to go to the toilet when he hears the alarm clock.

Parents should treat their children in a respectful manner, regardless of whether the child wets the bed for the reason, we may find this a little embarrassing for everyone, but let the child know that he will not be defined as a bad child because of bedwetting, and we will work with him to find a way to solve it.

First of all, we should take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine if it is caused by physiological reasons, or whether the child's physical development is normal. If it is determined that it is not a physiological cause, we can try other ways to help the child.

Think about whether there are some things that will make the child feel stressed recently, we have all heard that in the second-child family, when the baby is born, the eldest in the family will have age-regression behaviors, such as wetting the bed like a baby, because the child faces the new baby, the love of mom and dad seems to be given to the baby, and he feels insecure and stressed. He will think that as long as he is like a baby, he can get the love and attention of his parents again, so he will also do the same things as the baby, such as bedwetting.

If this is the case, parents can choose a fixed time to spend alone with the child, can ask the child what he wants to do, and then plan a fixed time to do it, and this thing should be done frequently, such as once a week. Let children feel the love of their parents again, and enhance their sense of worth and belonging.

Discuss with your child if you would like to wake him up at night to pee, if you want to, we can set the alarm clock, wake him up regularly, and then slowly lengthen the interval. You can also try to delay urination during the day, that is, endure it for a while and then go again to enhance the control of the bladder.

Before the child goes to bed, stipulate that the child should go to the toilet before going to bed, and within 2 hours before going to bed, no longer give the child a lot of water, even if he is thirsty, he can only drink a little bit, so that the amount of nocturia can be reduced. However, children who are almost five years old generally sleep for about 9-10 hours at night, and even if they don't drink water, they will definitely have nocturia. During this period, whether the child needs to sleep with an adult or sleep independently, the adult must wake up the child in the middle of the night to pee, there is no shortcut, and such a big child will definitely not be happy to wear diapers.

Wake up your child at a fixed time every day, and at first assume that you are afraid that you will not be able to get up, then set an alarm clock.

Persist for a period of time, and try to get your child used to getting up and pulling when he is urgent, rather than falling asleep. No matter how sleepy the child is, he must first establish a habit of not wetting the bed, so that he has a subconscious, and slowly he can develop a habit.

But in this process, it is not so easy to do, the child is reluctant to get up, crying will definitely happen, parents should not be soft-hearted at this time, should be pulled up hard, let him be sure to go to the toilet to pee. That time I went on a trip with my sister and slept in the same room, and I found that my sister called her child again and again in the middle of the night to get up and pee, so as not to wet the bed. Otherwise, no matter how big the child is, he will be sleepy and inert, so he will wet the bed directly.

Usually I have to instill all kinds of thoughts in him, tell him how embarrassing it is to wet the bed, the almost five-year-old child already has a sense of shame, and he will slowly form a consciousness to get up and pee on his own in order not to be ashamed. Assuming that the child still has no improvement after implementing some of the above methods, and the nocturia is more frequent and it is easy to wet the bed, then it is necessary to consider whether the child's physical health is problematic and take it to the hospital for examination!

Under normal circumstances, a child has learned to control urination and hold urine at about 1 and a half to 2 years old, and some children are born with a preference for bedwetting, until about 5 or 6 years old, some children are just born to control urination late, but some children may be abnormal, so I recommend that your child is almost 5 years old and often wets the bed, then go to the hospital for examination and examination, if there is no problem in all aspects, just simply control urination late, you can let him drink less water before going to bed, urinate before going to bed, and exercise his urination function during the day. If it's because of some pathology, it's best to do it as soon as possible.

Recently, a lot of discussion in the mother's group is the problem of children's bedwetting. Kangkang's mother said that the child is more than 6 years old this year and always wets the bed. I don't know what the situation is, so I took the child for a check-up, and it turned out that he had enuresis.

In fact, it has been the case as early as Kangkang. The child is still young, and bedwetting is normal, but later the child grew up and the situation did not improve, but now the child is still young, and after the diagnosis, the effect is relatively satisfactory.

Is it enuresis that my child wets the bed all the time after the age of 5? How to intervene**? Parents should know.

So what is enuresis?

In fact, enuresis is what we often call "bedwetting", also known as nocturnal urinary incontinence, generally children over 5 years old do not urinate often in sleep, at least twice a month, and children over 7 years old do not often wet the bed at least once a month, and continue to urinate for more than 3 months.

So what are the types of enuresis?

1. Primary enuresis.

Primary enuresis is when a child has been trained to control urination from an early age, but has never developed the habit. This is called primary enuresis.

2. The second enuresis.

Secondary enuresis is when the child is trained successfully, but an accident occurs in the middle of the training, and urination occurs. This is called secondary enuresis. It is usually caused by diseases such as cystitis, urethritis, etc.

3. Physiological factors.

When children are young, their psychological endurance is very weak, and for adults, as long as it is a normal thing, children will feel harsh.

Enuresis may be caused by psychological factors (such as criticism, surprise, etc.), or it may cause the child to be in a constant state of nervousness, resulting in enuresis in the child.

So how to ** enuresis?

1.Drink less water before going to bed.

Try to let your child drink less water or drink 30 minutes before bedtime and pee before bedtime.

2. Perform bladder training.

During the day, try to minimize the number of times your child goes to the toilet and let your child hold urine properly, the purpose is to increase the capacity of the bladder and exercise the ability of the bladder to restrain the dilators.

3. Motor conditioning.

Parents can wake up their children, get up to go to the bathroom or set an alarm clock, and gradually develop their child's conditioned reflexes.

As mentioned above, enuresis will have a certain adverse impact on the child's psychology and family, in life, parents find that the child wets the bed more than 2 times a month after the age of 5, if the bed wetting continues for more than 3 months, it is necessary to take the child to a regular hospital in time, find out what happened, and intervene in time**, so as not to have adverse effects on the child's physical and mental health.

The first step is to check for the disease and check whether the bedwetting is due to the disease. Parents should not blindly blame their children, otherwise they will cause pressure to their children, and they will also wet the bed.

At this time, don't scold and blame the child, so that there will be greater psychological pressure and it will not be corrected. You can usually let him empty his urine when he sleeps, don't drink water before going to bed, or prepare a small light in the toilet to tell the child that if he feels the urge to urinate at night and wants to go to the toilet, then he can wake up his parents or go to the toilet independently. It is necessary to give priority to encouragement and care, because at this time the child has a good sense of ability.

Children's bedwetting is a disease, the writer should prevent the problem of children's bedwetting as soon as possible, from my clinical experience of enuresis, children's bedwetting is a disease, parents should pay attention, first of all, you should give your child a diet to observe and observe, some children are caused by dietary problems, then strict control of diet will be obviously good** Drink no drinks, fruit juice, orange juice, yogurt, dairy drinks, etc., eat less sugar, eat less seafood, eat less frozen food, eat less diuretic fruits such as watermelon, grapes, kiwifruit, dragon fruit, Oranges and so on. Don't drink bean porridge and corn porridge for dinner.

Drink less water after dinner, don't eat fruit, don't eat snacks, and don't drink milk. Go to the toilet once before going to bed and so on. At night, when the child has urine and moves back and forth, wake him up, let him go to the toilet by himself, exercise, and slowly the child can wake up when he has urine.

Some children are caused by physical reasons, such as genetic factors, poor eating, poor digestion and absorption function, and obvious abnormalities in physical development. There are also genetic factors, then, the family needs to take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible, the diagnosis is clear**, and the traditional Chinese medicine conditioning** is believed to be curable. In short, the child's bedwetting is a disease, don't have a fluke mentality, and the statement that the child grows up is not scientific, but also increases the harm to the child's physical and mental health, and the child should be responsible for a happy life in the future!

If it's okay, parents don't give their children the habit of going to the toilet at night, try to consume less water before going to bed at night, remember to wake up the child in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and form a habit.

It is likely that there is a problem with the kidneys, and if you encounter such conditions, you should see a doctor promptly. Prevent the situation from becoming more serious.

This is likely to be a disease as well, and you can generally control your body at this age, and you can also go to the hospital for **.

It may be that he has been playing too long and is too tired, or it may be that he has drunk too much water, which is also very normal.

It is very likely that there is a problem with the child's kidney sexual function, and you should go to the hospital immediately for a check-up.

Occasionally, 5-year-olds wet the bed, so if it is very frequent, it is recommended that you take your child to the pediatrics department of a major hospital.
