#asktheexpert Hello mam, my daughter is a 4and a half year old and yet she is bed wetting the at night how to get rid from this habit?or how to convince her to wake up at mid night to go for pee. when she is go to bed I usually compell to go for washroom every night by the way she is wetting the bed at midnight.

A. normally bedwetting is very common during the night time and the child is able to tell you regarding urination during the daytime. usually this problems improves with increasing age of the child and usually no medicines are given until and unless recommended by the doctor( you can easily wait for ten years of age of the child) usually treatment of medicines (if started) gives only symptomatic relief and the problem goes away only with increasing age with the strengthening of the muscles of the bladder which control the urination. steps decrease the amount of water intake just before going to bed and make the child pass urine before going to sleep. t also you can wake up the child at around 2 o'clock 3 o'clock and make the child pass uhrine. never criticize the child for this act because this will again aggravate the problem due to stress. meet your doctor who will tell you more regarding this .
