Patient's question:
I have the best and most adorable baby in the world. Almost everyone likes him, but I don't dare to send him to kindergarten. He wets the bed, and I'm afraid he will be bullied at kindergarten, so I don't let him go. I want to ask the doctor what should be done about a 5-year-old child who wets the bed?Doctor's answer:
First, exclude the condition of spina bifida. Pay attention not to over-exercise during the day, otherwise it will be difficult to wake up when you want to urinate at night. Do not drink too much water before bed. Before going to bed at night, it is recommended to soak your feet in warm water and gently massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction. Do not scold, hit, or ridicule the child when they wet the bed, as this will only increase their psychological burden and make them more anxious. Before going to bed, go to the toilet first. After falling asleep, parents can wake up the child a little earlier than the usual time they wet the bed, helping them gradually develop the habit of urinating consciously when awake.
