Patient's question:
My baby is in the senior kindergarten this year. Since infancy, they have been using diapers, and they were not used until they started kindergarten at the age of three. However, they still do not have the habit of urinating at night, and they usually wet the bed every night. Sometimes they also wet the bed at kindergarten at noon. Please ask the expert, what could be the reason for a 5-year-old child to wet the bed?Doctor's answer:
This situation may be due to the baby being quite lazy, or frequent use of diapers, which has led to the baby being overly dependent and lacking good habits of self-urination. First, it is essential to build the baby's confidence, using persuasion and education, and reminding them multiple times. Avoid scolding or hitting the baby. Let the baby have appropriate daytime naps, and minimize liquid intake at night. Gradually adjust the diet for a period of time, and the situation will improve. Encourage the baby to urinate on their own.
