At what age do children usually stop wetting the bed?

Patient's question:

Your son is in kindergarten this year, and he usually naps at the kindergarten in the afternoon. However, he often sleeps too deeply at noon and wets the bed. This has happened several times already. The teacher said that other children don't have this problem; they will call out if they need to use the bathroom. Could you please tell me at what age do children generally stop wetting the bed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your symptom description, the pediatric urinary center is generally not fully developed before the age of three, making it easy to experience urinary incontinence and enuresis. Therefore, it is common for children around three years old to have difficulty falling asleep. Alternatively, another reason could be physiological urinary incontinence, such as inappropriate clothing or primarily in kindergarten due to psychological and emotional factors that are not suitable. If these issues are not addressed promptly, it may affect your baby's health. Wishing your baby good health.
