#asktheexperts bed wetting remedy

A. Bed-wetting (also called nocturnal enuresis) at the age of 6 years and 9 months is quite common and often resolves with time. However, here are some gentle and effective remedies to help manage it: Limit fluids before bedtime – Reduce intake of water, milk, or juice at least 1–2 hours before sleep. Regular toilet schedule – Encourage your child to use the toilet before bedtime and establish a routine during the day to empty the bladder every 2–3 hours. Night waking – Wake your child once during the night to use the toilet. Reward system – Use positive reinforcement like a star chart to celebrate dry nights. Avoid punishment – Bed-wetting is not intentional; be patient and supportive. If the problem continues regularly or is accompanied by other symptoms like pain, daytime wetting, or constipation, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician or pediatric urologist for further evaluation.
