Bedwetting can be an enormous frustration to children and parents alike. Whether your child is struggling with the last stages of potty training or dealing with bedwetting during school-age years, there are ways you can both work together to achieve night dryness. Below, the parents of iVillage share their best tips for beating the bedwetting blues.
Reconsidering Pull-ups
"My daughter has stayed dry during the day since last summer but nighttime was a different story: we put pull-ups on her at night and every morning she was wet. The other night I forgot to put the pull-up on her and, at 3:30 a.m., I woke up when I heard her in the bathroom. When I asked her why she got up, she said, 'You forgot to put my pull-up on and I didn't want to wet the bed.' I let her go back to bed without the pull-up and she was dry in the morning. We haven't used a pull-up since and she has stayed dry. I think I would rather let her have an accident and wash the sheets than use the pull-ups again. She seems to think pull-ups are the same as the potty!"
