Here is something a lot of parents do not know: bedwetting is completely normal up to age 7 and sometimes beyond. The age at which children achieve reliable night dryness varies enormously. Most children are dry at night by around age 4 to 5 but around 15 percent of 5-year-olds still wet the bed regularly and that is within the normal range. Night dryness is largely controlled by the development of a hormone called ADH which reduces urine production during sleep. Some children develop this hormone response earlier than others. You cannot speed up that biological process no matter what you do. What you can do is manage the situation with kindness while you wait. Practical steps that help: use a waterproof mattress protector always, have a second set of sheets and pajamas ready so nighttime changes are quick and calm, wake your child to use the toilet before you go to bed which some families find reduces accidents, limit fluids in the 1 to 2 hours before bed though do not restrict fluids during the day. If your child is older than 7 and still wetting the bed regularly, there are treatments available including bedwetting alarms which have a good evidence base, and medication options your doctor can discuss. What does not help: punishing, shaming, or making your child feel bad about accidents. Bedwetting is not something they are doing on purpose and they are not being lazy. It is developmental. Treat accidents matter-of-factly, reassure your child it is normal, and it will resolve.
