A. Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) at 7 years and 3 months is common, but since most children outgrow it by this age, it's good to address it with some strategies. Possible Causes of Bedwetting at 7 Years 🔹 Delayed Bladder Maturity – The brain and bladder connection is still developing. 🔹 Deep Sleep – Some kids don’t wake up even when their bladder is full. 🔹 Genetic Factors – If parents had a history of bedwetting, kids might have it too. 🔹 Constipation – A full rectum can put pressure on the bladder. 🔹 Stress or Anxiety – School pressure, changes at home, or emotional stress can contribute. 🔹 Excess Fluid Before Bed – Drinking a lot before sleep increases urine production. 🔹 Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) or Small Bladder Capacity – In rare cases, medical conditions could be a reason. What You Can Do to Reduce Bedwetting ✅ Reduce Liquid Intake Before Bed – Stop fluids at least 1-2 hours before bedtime. ✅ Encourage Regular Toilet Visits – Make her pee before bed and again if she wakes at night. ✅ Create a Wake-Up Schedule – Wake her up once at night (after 2-3 hours of sleep) to use the toilet. ✅ Avoid Constipation – Give fiber-rich foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains) and plenty of water. ✅ Make a Reward Chart – Praise dry nights with small rewards to motivate her. ✅ Keep Calm & Be Supportive – Avoid scolding; instead, reassure her that she will outgrow it. ✅ Try a Bedwetting Alarm – This wakes the child when wetness is detected, helping train bladder control. When to See a Doctor? 🚨 If bedwetting happens suddenly after staying dry for months. 🚨 If she has pain while urinating, unusual thirst, or frequent daytime accidents. 🚨 If there’s blood in urine or any signs of UTI (burning sensation, strong-smelling urine, fever). 💡 Most kids stop bedwetting naturally by 8-10 years. If it continues, a pediatrician can check for urinary infections, diabetes, or other underlying causes. Let me know if you need more help!
