Patient's question:
The baby is 4 years old and always wets the bed at night. During the day, everything is fine, but at night, he keeps wetting the bed. I told him that if he needs to urinate at night, he should say so, but he still wets the bed. Later, I started asking him around midnight if he needs to urinate, but each time he says, "No, no." Yet, less than ten minutes later, he wets the bed again. Every night before his nap, I make sure he doesn’t drink too much water.What kind of help is needed: Hello, how can we help him break the habit of wetting the bed?
Doctor's answer:
1. To prevent children from being difficult to wake up after sleeping soundly at night, it is important to avoid excessive fatigue during the day. It is recommended to arrange for a sleep time of about an hour in the afternoon.2. Use less salt in dinner, drink less water, and drink less soup.
3. Before taking a nap, prevent children from becoming overly excited. Encourage them to develop the habit of emptying their bladders before getting into bed for a nap.
4. Parents should cultivate the habit of children going to bed and urinating voluntarily. Before falling asleep, remind the child to silently recite, "I will go to the bathroom at x o'clock tonight." Parents can also wake the child up before the time they frequently wet the bed, allowing them to urinate while awake.
