What can you do to help your child from bedwetting?
- Bedwetting is not the child's fault, don't tease, scold or punish your child
- Avoid high sugar food, carbonated and caffeinated drinks
- Create a schedule for child's bathroom use (at least 5 times in a day, and just before bedtime)
- Reduce amount of fluids your child drinks 1-2 hours before bedtime
- Consider using training pants for your child at night, or during overnight trips out of home
- Water-proof sheets and room deodorizers will help protect mattress and improve smell
- After an incident, wash your child and use petroleum jelly to avoid skin irritation
- Note bedwetting pattern on a calendar to track your child's progress
- Child should have at least one bowel movement each day.
