Patient's question:
My child is two and a half years old. I want to gradually teach him not to wear diapers. But during the day, it's okay because the child can call out, and we are always nearby to take him for a potty break. At night, if he's not wearing a diaper, how can I prevent him from wetting the bed? Can I just not let him drink water before bed?Doctor's answer:
In this situation, it's best to develop good habits. You can train the habit of urinating regularly during the day. Also, don't drink too much water before going to bed at night. If the baby makes any movements, get up promptly to urinate. Taking care of a child can be very tiring, so as an adult, you need to stay more alert at night. This way, it's less likely that the baby will wet the bed, and you won't be able to respond in time to help them urinate. If this happens frequently, it can easily lead to the baby wetting the bed.
