A. Bedwetting in an 8-year-10-month-old is common and usually improves with time. However, if it happens frequently, it may need attention. 🔹 Causes of Bedwetting 1️⃣ Deep Sleep – Child may not wake up when the bladder is full. 2️⃣ Delayed Bladder Maturity – The bladder may not be fully developed to hold urine overnight. 3️⃣ Genetics – If a parent had bedwetting as a child, the chances increase. 4️⃣ Constipation – Full bowels press on the bladder. 5️⃣ Stress or Anxiety – School pressure, family changes, or emotional stress. 6️⃣ Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) – If bedwetting is sudden, with pain or frequent daytime urination. 7️⃣ Diabetes – If the child is always thirsty, tired, or urinates a lot. 🔸 What You Can Do to Stop Bedwetting ✅ Reduce Fluids Before Bedtime Avoid water, juice, or milk 1–2 hours before sleep. ✅ Encourage Toilet Use Before Sleep Make sure your child empties the bladder twice before bed (once before brushing and once just before sleeping). ✅ Bedwetting Alarm (If Needed) Alarms can wake the child when they start urinating, helping to develop bladder control. ✅ Create a Toilet Routine Encourage your child to urinate every 2–3 hours during the day. ✅ Limit Caffeine & Sugary Drinks Avoid tea, coffee, chocolate, and carbonated drinks as they irritate the bladder. ✅ Ensure Proper Bowel Movements Constipation can worsen bedwetting. Give fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plenty of water. ✅ Reward & Encourage Avoid scolding; instead, appreciate dry nights to build confidence. ✅ Use Waterproof Bedding To reduce stress and make cleanup easier. 🚨 When to See a Doctor? ❌ If bedwetting suddenly starts after a long dry period. ❌ If child has painful urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, or daytime accidents. ❌ If bedwetting continues beyond 10 years old without improvement. Would you like a detailed daily routine to help control bedwetting?
