Bedwetting -
Conclusion
Now that you have
pondered more than one hundred ways to help your child with
bedwetting, the time has come to choose which methods to use in
helping your child.
You may have chosen
some methods to put into practice already or you may be
wondering where to begin. You will notice that the methods of
dealing with bedwetting fall into a few broad
categories:
- Time and
patience: Often the most-recommended method, this means
that parents and children wait until the body on its own
learns to stop losing bladder control at night. This can be
a frustrating method, but tends to be an effective one, as
most children tend to outgrow the problem on their own with
time. All methods require at least a small dose of time and
patience to work.
- Behavior
Modification: This method works by trying to “teach” the
body to wake up in time in order to go to the bathroom.
Various methods are used in this treatment. Moisture
detector alarms, making bathroom access easier,
visualization, and other techniques are all
used.
- Reduction of
Mess or Problem: Some parents simply see bed wetting as a
natural part of childhood, and work to simply reduce the
mess and inconvenience. A number of products on the market
today exist to help with this goal, including mattress
liners, sleeping bad liners, disposable absorbent
underpants, non-disposable absorbent products, and many
others.
These can all make
mornings more pleasant until the child learns to sleep “dry.”
In many cases, you should use one of these methods no matter
what method you are using, as “accidents” may
occur.
- Medical
Treatment: Some parents seek doctor help with bedwetting.
This can be a good idea if a parent suspects an underlying
cause may be the real problem behind bedwetting. Even if
the cause is not medical, doctors can prescribe medication
that can control bedwetting.
- Holistic
Treatment: A number of alternative treatments exist which
help children with bedwetting. Eating honey, hypnotherapy,
and other such treatments have been found effective by some
parents, even though these treatments do not work for
everyone and even though in some cases not much research
has been done about the efficacy of these
treatments.
- Proxy Treatment
- Rather than treating the problem, some parents choose to
treat the problems caused by the problem. This can mean
helping a child cope with teasing or clean-up or
discomfort. The idea is that if the problem is more
bearable, the child will be able to wait for the problem to
clear up on its own.
Also, proxy treatment
acknowledges that it is often not bedwetting itself that is a
problem, but rather it is the problems caused by it that seem
unbearable.

Preparing The Bed of a Bed
Wetter
Whether your
child suffers from primary enuresis or
secondary enuresis, it is important to take
measures to make sure your child will be as
comfortable when he goes to bed as night. One
way to do this is to prepare his bedroom so it
is as ready for a bed wetting episode as can
be. This will help put both the bed wetting
child’s mind at ease as well as the
parent(s).
It is a good
idea to buy a protective mattress cover and
place it over the mattress to protect it from
the potential of bed wetting accidents.
Mattress covers can be found in the bedding
department of any department store and don’t
cost too much. It is best to buy a heavy cover
that is made of plastic. In case of accident
not only will this ensure that the urine does
not seep into the mattress but also it
decreases the chance of odor.
Suggest that
your child wear extra-thick underwear or
pajamas to bed. Not only will this help the
child from feeling wet and cold in the morning
it will also means that in case of an accident
less urine will go all over the sheets. This
also provides an extra measure of security for
a child and can help boost lagging self-esteem.
However make sure to not buy your children
extra-thick nightwear that is too tight or
scratchy and during the hot nights of summer
the child will probably not want to wear
pajamas or underwear that is extra think in its
construction!
