Patient's question:
My son is already in second grade, but he still wets the bed. I don't feel comfortable telling others about it. My dear son also feels quite embarrassed about it. But no matter how hard I try to wake him up at night, he still wets the bed frequently. We have also seen a doctor about it. Could you please advise on how to handle bedwetting in an 8-year-old boy?Doctor's answer:
Usually, boys tend to sleep deeper, otherwise the fatigue during the day will make it difficult for the baby to fall asleep. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the baby gets adequate rest during the day and does not become overly tired. The baby must be allowed to relax. Try to reduce the amount of food before the baby falls asleep and encourage them to defecate, especially before sleep. It is essential to encourage the baby to urinate as well. You can ring a bell for the baby or provide appropriate reminders for adults a few times. Gradually, it will improve.
