How old does the child need to be before they stop wetting the bed at night?

Patient's question:

My male baby is 3 years old this year, but he still wets the bed until now. We have tried various methods, but nothing has helped. I heard that children only stop wetting the bed after reaching a certain age, so I wanted to ask, how old was your child when he stopped wetting the bed at night? Is it normal for a 3-year-old to still wet the bed?

Doctor's answer:

Usually, after a year and a half, the possibility of bedwetting will gradually decrease, and by the time you are 2 to 3 years old, you can control your bowel movements. For children under three, if you still have bedwetting, you need to gradually train the child. If you want to extend the urination interval as much as possible during the day, you need to encourage your child to avoid blaming and drinking less before going to bed at night. Milk, drink less water, the child should get up to urinate in the middle of the night.
