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 at night, no matter how hard I try to wake him up, he still wets the bed frequently. We have also seen a doctor about it. Could you please advise on what to do for an 8-year-old boy who wets the bed?Doctor's answer:
Usually, boys tend to sleep deeper. Otherwise, the fatigue during the day can make it difficult for the baby to fall asleep. Therefore, it is important to ensure the baby gets adequate rest during the day and avoids exhaustion, allowing the baby 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, and you can ring a bell for the baby or provide appropriate reminders for adults a few times. Gradually, it will improve.
