Let’s start the bedwetting conversation

We think this needs to change, especially with Christmas on the horizon!

Thanks for the snaps Squaddies Natsai1, jzjen and Plonka 🤗

With overnight stays to visit family, late nights and disruption to the usual routines, Christmas is a time where bedwetting can become more of a concern than usual for parents and children.

Our starter kits are on their way and in the meantime, let’s begin a discussion around the experience of bedwetting because of bedwetting. Remember, this is a safe space and we’re here to support and encourage one another. If you’ve found anything that works for you and your child, share your tips and info in the comment section to see if the same thing could help other parents this festive season and beyond.

Why does bedwetting occur? 🤔

Bedwetting can be a challenging for children and parents alike and the reasons behind it are likely to vary from child to child. One thing that always remains the same though is that bedwetting is no one’s fault

There are many reasons for bedwetting, from a child’s bladder capacity to hold wee produced overnight, to psychological triggers like stress or a major life event. There are a few potential underlying health matters that can lead your little one to wet the bed, e.g. constipation¹.

How to manage bedwetting

There are several solutions that exist to help you to manage bedwetting and make you and your child more confident. Consider trying some of these practical tips:

• Get to know your child’s toilet habits – you may spot a pattern.
• Make sure your child gets plenty of liquid during the day and if possible consider limiting large amounts of fluids before bed.
• Remind your child to use the toilet 20 minutes before bed and again just before they lie down for sleep.
• Constipation can be an underlying cause of bedwetting¹, so ensure your child eats plenty of fibre as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Be supportive: Reassure your child and help them on the path to working through it. Don’t punish or blame them for bedwetting, try to stay positive and encouraging.
