Discovering Effective Bedwetting Solutions

I'm assuming (since you are reading this post), that you have or know a child that is currently wetting the bed. So I don't need to mention the frustrations you feel. It can be a tough period to go through. You have so much on your plate, and cleaning up after a bedwetting incident is a tiring and thankless task. If you ask me, one of the hardest things to do is to keep your child from sensing your frustrations. After all, they aren't doing it on purpose. They may already feel embarrassed or ashamed for doing it. And you don't want to make them feel worse. That's one reason why it is so important to find good bed wetting solutions quickly.

At this point, you are too tired to wait it out. Sure, most kids outgrow it as they get older, but not everyone does. Most children will outgrow it in the period of time between five and seven years. The percentage of kids who wet their beds goes drastically down each year. So if your child is just now entering this age range, it can be a good bedwetting solution. But there is no reason that you can't help it along.

You might want to go to the doctor to first check for any underlying medical conditions that are causing it. This is a good idea if your child is in the older range, but is probably unnecessary if they are under seven years old. Use common sense to decide if a trip to the pediatrician is necessary. Medication may be prescribed depending on the case.

If you are looking for an effective and safe remedy, consider getting a bedwetting alarm. These can cost anywhere from $50-$100, but they do work in most cases and they are a one-time investment. Bedwetting alarms can actually train your child to stop wetting the bed. Of course, they must be used properly to be effective. They should come with instructions, so read those first. However, here's a general overview of how they work. There is a moisture sensor placed in the pajamas. When it senses moisture, the alarm, which is attached near the shoulder, goes off. This stops the urination, but probably won't wake your child. You'll then go in, wake them, and have them go to the bathroom before returning to bed. It might sound like a lot of work, but it is easier than cleaning up the next morning.

There are other little things that you can do that will help your child end bedwetting. These bedwetting solutions might include limiting what kinds of drinks your kid can have in the evening or starting a star chart to reward them for dry nights.

Welcome to Bed Wetting Solutions

This is my new blog, bed wetting solutions. I'm hoping to start blogging in 2010, so here I am. I'm making this blog to provide support, advice, and info to parents who are struggling with bedwetting. I'll probably go off topic occasionally. Maybe often. But there are a lot of books and supplies that I want to take a closer look at while I blog. I'm very grateful that you have chosen to stop at this page, because I know there are so many webpages out there.

Well, that's all I'm going to talk about for now. It's time for me to fix my tea and have breakfast. Namaste!
