How to teach children not to wet the bed

  Babies cannot control their own urination and defecation, so they need to use diapers for a long time when they are first born. However, as babies grow up, they cannot rely on diapers to urinate and defecate all the time. It is inevitable for babies to wet the bed when they are just released from using diapers. So how to teach children not to wet the bed?

  

How to teach children not to wet the bed1

  Firstly, parents should teach their babies to go to the bathroom before bedtime, which is very important and can help them develop a conditioned reflex. This can reduce the frequency of bedwetting and improve the quality of children's sleep. When a child is still a baby, it is important to be aware that when the child turns over or cries at midnight, the child is about to urinate. This will be a bit harder in the first year, but the child will gradually stop wetting the bed after the age of one.

  If a child wets the bed when they reach 2-3 years old, parents should remind them to pay attention next time. But it is important to have a gentle tone in order for the child to accept it. If parents have a bad attitude, their children may experience feelings of fear, which can lead to bedwetting at night. When babies are still young, parents should remember to wake them up at night to go to the bathroom. Of course, there are also some babies who won't go to the bathroom overnight. As for how long to call the baby or not, parents can decide according to their own baby's situation.

  In addition, babies can also drink water during the day for urination training, making them feel what it feels like to have urine in their bladder. Experience what it feels like to have urgency to urinate, and immediately go to the bathroom when you experience this feeling. Gradually, the baby will be able to control their urination and will no longer constantly wet the bed.
