Daughter still wets the bed common?

[Anonymous]

9 year old daughter does good in school and has lots of friends. She trys to please everyone at home . Unfortunately she still wets the bed probably 5 to 6 nights a week . I just keep goodnites stocked for her and a mattress protector on her bed incase of leaks . Her doctor wants to wait on using medication. He says it'll stop soon I know this is common in boys but is it common in girls ? Any advice on alarms?

Most of my friends have boys but I do have one friend with a daughter who used to wet the bed. The alarm worked for her and very quickly. It’s like some kids don’t recognize the feeling of needing to go while they are sleeping and the alarm helps.

How does this work? Something in the brain?

Normal. Agree with your pediatrician. brains all develop at different speeds.

No, at age nine, it’s not normal.

Who changes the sheets?

She does most of it if it leaks I'll help . Usually they don't leak .

I’d listen to your doctor about waiting, especially since it runs in the family.

I mentioned this in another post. I wet the bed until I was 10 and it was super embarrassing. It was pretty much every night and I missed out on many sleepovers. My daughter is finally starting to outgrow it. I will agree, it is definitely genetics.

How? Brain or what?

Did it with my DD at 9 and it worked quickly--I slept by her the first couple of nights to make sure she heard it. Her body just had to learn to wake up out of deep sleep to pee. Should have done it sooner.
