Son still peeing in the bed

Anonymous
Sleep apnea can cause bed wetting.

You are not alone. Stopping fluids in the evening helped.

Get him checked for constipation. If he has any kind of blockage, it can cause bedwetting. Also cut down on evening fluids, especially milk.

I don't consider it a problem. Both of my sisters were still wetting well past this age.


How often does she wet the bed? Its pretty much every night here. There is no way I could change sheets in the middle of the night and then again in the morning so thats why we put him in a diaper at night. Not to mention that my almost 7 year old sons mattress already had to be replaced and the current one isnt far from being replaced. Mattresses are not cheap.

Does his mattress have a waterproof cover? Incontinence pads over the sheet can help too.

I do yes. There were times I didnt get it washed and back on his bed for the following night. I have used those puppy pads that someone gave me. More times than not, they ended up crumpled up and only caught a minimal of pee.

We use pull ups. Pediatrician said it’s very common and is not concerned.

We did pull ups for a little while. They didnt really hold up all night. They would be soaked through by morning and he still pees A LOT at night as well as being a deep sleeper.

Did you try putting on more than one? We do that in the summer months when our kids drink a ton of water.

Are you waking them when you go to bed to go to the bathroom?

Yep, sometimes twice a night depending on if he had a lot to drink that night. All it did was disturb his sleep and he would wake up cranky in the morning.

Your not alone, 7 year old son here still wetting every night as well. We put him in a diaper with a booster pad before bed. Pull-ups just didn’t hold enough for him.

Our pediatrician isn’t concerned.

Our sons pediatrician isnt concerned either. Never tried boosters. Are those the kind you use for cloth diapers?

No, they are a disposable booster pad for disposable diapers. They just add extra absorption.
