4y/o still wets bed at night

posted 6th Feb
I need help!! I've tried everything with my daughter , tired of buying pull ups for night time, she uses one and wets it everynight . She doesn't have anything to drink after 5 pm and bedtime is at 8 pm and I always make her go to the restroom right before she lays down. Any suggestions on what I can do from here?

Her body may not be ready yet. Sometimes those muscles that control it aren't fully developed at 4, and sometimes they are.

Have you tried talking to her about why she does it/if she's awake when she does it?

Have her checked out for being constipated. If she is the muscles may not be working right. Just because she poops doesn't mean she isn't constipated.

Many kids wet the bed until they are 6-7 yrs old.

Thats the hard part , trying to figure out if shes just not wanting to get up, or if she cannot control it. And yes I have had many talks with her, I really don't know what I should do now.

Wow, see my son was potty trained at 2 and never wet the bed from there on out lol. I don't know if shes constipated, she poops everyday, how would I go about checking that?

That's a good one. When my daughter gets constipated (if she has too much dairy) she'll start to have little accidents.

Do you leave a light on for her at night? Maybe you could let her know that if she's scared to potty then she can come get you and you can go with her?

Idk. I was a bed wetter until I was about 7 and it was always in my sleep. But I would definitely exhaust all other possibilities before assuming she is unable or just doesn't want to go.

She could be sleeping too deep to control her bladder muscles. I had the same problem until I was 11. I would sleep so deep that I didnt know I had to pee and would just pee the bed. Talk to the doctor about it if she does find during the day

She has a night light in her room and we have one in the hallway right next to the bathroom. I guess I will just have to ask her doctor...well I'm off to the store to buy more pullups !! Thanks all for trying to help lol

My dd is 5 and still a night wetter as well. The dr isn't concerned for a couple more years. We took her to the chiropractor when she hurt her neck and the chiro said her lower back was out and that can cause night wetting. We assume children wouldn't have back problems because theyre more limber than us and don't Hve pain with it. But their backs can be out because they constantly jump fall and tumble. W have had pretty good success from it. When she tarts wetting nightly again we take her back for readjustment.

I'm in the exact same situation as you (even the same ages) though the opposite sexes. My son will still pee at night even if he hasn't had a drink after 4 and goes to bed at 8. I don't want to have to wake him in the middle of the night so we are just going with the flow. I know he can't hold it because we tried bribing him with something that he really wanted and he still couldn't do it and would become upset that he couldn't. Some kids just can't hold it or have small bladders. I'm not too concerned yet. Sorry not much help, but sometimes it helps to know you aren't the only one.

I'm still trying to daytime potty train my 3 year old so I'm not going to be much help. but I do know when my brother was little, he had nighttime accidents until he was almost 6 years old. The doctor told my mom it was pretty normal until around that age. just maybe try waking her up half way through the night to use the bathroom? My mom had to do this with my brother, and finally he learned to wake up if he had to use the potty.
