Bedwetting - When To Worry

All the parenting handbooks tell you that most children start to stay dry through the night at about age three. Ask any pediatrician and he’ll tell you that about that time, he suddenly starts hearing questions from worried parents about their children still wetting the bed at night. According to most pediatricians, though, it’s not unusual for children to wet the bed long past that age. If your child is still wetting the bed at five, should you be worried? How about at eight? What if it’s only once in a while? Here are some facts to help you decide if you should worry about your child’s bedwetting.

Fact: About 15% of children consistently wet the bed after the age of three.

Three sounds like the magic number, especially if your child is completely potty-trained during the day. All children develop at different rates, though, and it's not unusual for a child to still occasionally wet the bed as late as age seven or eight. About 15% of six year olds wet the bed. About 5% of ten year olds still wet the bed.

Fact: Bedwetting tends to run in families.

Chances are that if you or your spouse was a bedwetter, at least one of your children will be later to develop night-time bladder control. In addition, if your child is an especially sound sleeper, they may have trouble waking to their body's signals.

Fact: Bedwetting is more common in boys than in girls.

No one is quite sure why, though we do know that girls often reach physical milestones sooner than boys.

Fact: Even without treatment, even the most persistent bedwetting stops at puberty.

It's very rare that a child continues to wet the bed past puberty, even with no special treatment or precautions.

Fact: Most bedwetters do NOT have emotional problems.

Or at least... bedwetting is not often caused by emotional problems. Making your child ashamed of his inability to stay dry at night could cause problems, though.

When SHOULD you worry about bedwetting?

If your child has been dry at night for some time – several months or longer – and begins wetting the bed regularly again, look for anything upsetting his routine. A move to a new home, a change of teacher at school, or something that has upset him may be triggering the bedwetting problems. Don't, however, rule out the possibility of a physical cause. If your child suddenly starts wetting the bed again, your first step should be to check for a urinary tract infection – especially in a girl.

If the return to bedwetting is accompanied by a fever, complaints of belly pain or a change in toileting habits during the day, it’s a clear signal to call your doctor. Chances are very good that the cause is a urinary tract infection that can be taken care of with a course of antibiotics.

If your child is especially bothered by his bedwetting, offer him all the emotional support that you can to prevent it from becoming an emotional problem.

Tips for Helping a Child Stay Dry At Night

1. Don't make a big deal about bedwetting. Change the sheets without comment, reassure your child that everyone outgrows it eventually, and tuck him back into bed.

2. Do limit drinks after dinner. There's no need to make a big fuss about it. Just limit drinks in the two hours or so before bedtime.

3. Make sure that your child goes potty before bed. It's an easy thing to forget in the rush of getting everyone tucked in, but simply making a trip to the bathroom part of the bedtime routine may be enough to eliminate bedwetting.

4. Wake your child to use the bathroom at YOUR bedtime. Most children won't even totally wake up if you do, but by interrupting sleep to make a trip to the bathroom you can help establish a pattern of waking to use the toilet.

5. Make life easy on yourself. While putting your child in diapers for bed is ignominious, these days there's a wide range of ‘nighttime undies' that are far less embarrassing to wear. You'll resent the whole process a lot less if you don't have to wash bedding every single day.

6. It should go without saying but – don't tease or make fun of the child to shame them out of it. By the same token, don't allow your other children to make fun of him for his physical inability to control his bladder at night.

7. Most importantly, don't stress over it. The more importance YOU place on your child's bedwetting, the more likely it is that it will become a source of emotional turmoil for your child.

BONUS : Benefits Of Baby Slings

If you are looking for new innovative ways to carry your baby you should consider acquiring a baby sling. A baby sling is a baby carrier made from fabric that wraps around the wearer's body from his or her shoulder to the opposite hip and back up to the shoulder. Doing so creates a pocket, or pouch for the infant to sit or lie down. Although the baby sling has becoming mainstream and popular only recently it has been common and ordinary in many places around the world and part of many old cultures. The use of baby slings however, is gaining popularity in North America as well as American and Canadian parents are realizing the many benefits associated with using baby slings.

There are several benefits associated with the use of baby slings. When using baby slings you are literally hands free when carrying your baby. They are a good way to keep your baby with you at all times when you are running errands, tending to chores around the house or just taking a leisurely walk. The infant finds comfort in the sling which simulates the pressure, motion and warmth sensations they experienced before birth in the womb and as a result they can reduce stress in babies and decrease crying. They also make it easier for mothers to nurse their babies. In addition, slings are not only made for mothers, they are excellent tools for fathers, grandparents and other caregivers.

In terms of types of baby slings the most popular type is the pouch sling, also known as the tube or pocket sling, where the baby is carried in a semi-prone position. This type of sling often fits around one arm, with baby hanging at about stomach level.

There are other types of slings as well. There slings that can be worn like backpacks with the baby facing forward or backwards. Usually parents use these types of slings when carrying their children for relatively longer distances; for example hiking and walking outdoors.

One of the dilemmas parents are faced with when buying a sling is whether it should be the padded or unpadded kind. Many parents prefer padded slings because they provide infants with necessary head support and are more comfortable for both the baby and the parent. Other parents prefer unpadded slings over padded slings because the later are bulkier and less versatile.

When using baby slings always keep in mind that they should not be used instead of car seats or other infant protection devices. Never hold your baby in a carrier while cooking over the stove or oven due to the risk of heat exposure. When bending over always keep one hand on your baby to prevent accidents like having the baby fall out. One more thing parents who use baby slings is to always keep an eye out for sharp corners and doorways while walking with the baby strapped on the sling. It should go without being said to remember to fasten or tie the sling properly. There are many kinds of baby slings to choose from, various types sizes and colours. Some of the most popular brands are Maya Wrap, The Peanut Shell, Moby Wrap, and Hotslings.
