Patience and dilagence on your part make sure you get him up to go before you go to bed if you go to bed fairly early set your alarm to get up around 1 am amnd have him get up to go he will get it eventually as long as his peditrician has found no other reason for this My daughter has a small bladder and this helped her tremendosly within 2 weeks we no longer had wet beds

If she starts complaining she is wet or dirty or tells you she has to go or went.\n\nYou can ask her if she wants to use the potty and if she says yes, try it, but she is way to young.  \n\nIf you wake her in the morning before she pees, put her on the potty, is she pees there, make a big deal about her being a big girl, if she doesn't oh well.\n\nDon't push her.

Well, first of all, her bladder most likely is not fully developed and so it's not her fault.  So, please don't traumatize your child by yelling at her about it.  Just comfort her and deal with the issue.  Here are a few things that can help your child, but will not make her bladder develop any faster:  \n1. get a plasic mattress cover on the bed.  This makes it very uncomfortable when she pees it and thus she'll really try hard to get up when she's gotta go.\n2.  Don't load her down with drinks before for bedtime.  Give her at least one to one and a half hours before bed in which she isn't drinking.  Also, make sure she goes before going to bed.\n3.  When all else fails, get some Pullups for the girl so you don't have such a mess.  She should only wear them to bed though.\n\nHope this helps...

If it's of themself then they have a whole other incestuous issue on their hands. I say stop showering with your child and the phase will subside.

Just a thought on wetting the bed at 8 years old\n\nHas she always done this or did it start out of the blue?\n\nIf it started out of the blue then you must find out what is terrifying her or upsetting her to make her react like this.\n\nSome reasons this can start suddenly are\n\n* Being bullied\n* Being told mummy is pregnant\n* Moving home, school, class\n* Losing a family member or friend\n* Feeling scared & insecure\n* Some form of physical / mental abuse\n\nIf she has always been doing this then letting her sleep in it will only distress her further, it's not her fault it's just something we have to learn & some learn it easier than others.\nPlease don't let her feel degraded over this.\n\nShe may be a heavy sleeper and just doesn't notice she has to go till it's too late

Scrub him with soap and water

Is he afraid of slipping in the tub, maybe? Can you make it safer in there by putting sticky things on the bottom or a chair in the tub? (hey, it's like a sponge bath b/c he can sit down but be under running water--neato, eh?).\n\nIs there a lady friend or wife who can help him bathe? Or maybe a very close friend or a brother? \n\nHey, if all else fails, there are outdoor showers at pools and at the beach, and it is summertime. And he's used soap, all he needs is the running water (not trying to be sarcastic, just thinking of the situation and what might work).

If the jumping up and down trick doesn't work, put in a little isopropyl alcohol, the drier alcohol the better.  I keep a bottle of 99 per cent around the house.  80 per cent will work if that is all you have.  Absorb the excess with a q tip.  If water stays in over time you can get a nasty infection known as "swimmers ear."

Most doctors consider a bedwetting child to be any girl older than age four and any boy over age five who wet the bed.  Bedwetting generally declines with age.  About 10% of all six year olds and about 3% of all 14 year olds wet the bed.  In a very small number of cases, bedwetting can continue into adulthood. \n\nCause:  Chronic bed-wetting is thought to be related to (1) a physically and/or neurologically immature bladder and/or (2) a deep sleeping pattern.  Apparently these children often sleep so deeply that they are not aware of the message the bladder sends to the brain saying it is full.  It is presumed that bed-wetting is an inherited condition.  Usually a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent or other family member(s) will have had the condition.  Also, children with attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities or allergies seem to be more likely to be bed-wetters than children in the general population.\nEffect of Bed-wetting on the Child and Family:  By the first grade, most children are embarrassed by their bed-wetting condition.  They ten to withdraw from social activities that require sleeping outside their home.  They also often suffer from low self-image.  These children's feelings can be greatly affected by the attitudes of their parents, who may feel that their efforts to end the bed-wetting have failed.  Parents may also feel frustrated, angry and embarrassed about their children's bed-wetting condition.  Parents can help their children reduce negative feelings about their bed-wetting condition and speed up the process of overcoming it, by offering positive support, understanding and encouragement.\n\nTreatment:\nFirst of all, almost all children outgrow their bed-wetting habit.  As children mature, their muscles become stronger and their bladder capacity increases.  They tend to sleep less deeply and to become more sensitive to messages the bladder sends to the brain.  There are two approaches to treatment: Medical or Behavioral.  The medical treatment usually consists of the use of one of two drugs:\n\nImipramine (Tofranil)  This drug is a tricyclic antidepressant.  It is thought to either improve the child's sleeping pattern to improve the functioning of the smooth muscles found in the bladder.  This medication brings some improvement to about 30% of the children who have tried it.  Often, the symptoms return when the medication is discontinued.  The drug can cause serious side effects and needs to be closely monitored by the prescribing physician.\n\nDesmpressin acetate  This drug is a synthetic form of the antidiuretic hormone and is administered as a nasal spray.  It helps the child's body make less urine, and thus lessens the risk that the child's bladder will overfill during sleep.  The medication often works quickly.  However, the condition may return after discontinuation of it's use.  While this medication is much safer than Imipramine, it still can cause some side effects.\n\nBehavioral treatment is often more effective and certainly is safer than medical treatment.  While behavioral treatment may take somewhat longer to show results, the improvement usually continues indefinitely.  There are several methods that may be helpful:\n\nRetention Control Training:  The child is asked to control urinating during the day by postponing it, first by a few minutes and then by gradually increased amounts of time.  This exercise can extent the capacity of the bladder and strengthen the muscle that holds back urination.  Parents should always check with a doctor before asking their child to practice retention control:\n\nNight-lifting:  This procedure involves waking your child periodically throughout the night, walking your child to the bathroom to urinate, and then returning your child to bed.  By teaching your child to awaken and to empty his or her bladder many times during the night, it is hoped that he or she will eventually stay dry.\n\nMoisture alarm:  Moisture alarms are consi

Your mother is setting your brother up to fail as a man. It is NOT normal for an 11 year old boy to sleep in his mom's bed. The whole cleaning up thing is just a part of being the oldest. We always have to be the "example" for the younger ones. I feel you. Just know that you are totally cool and are a great son. Keep doing as you are told. It will pay off in the long run. Ask your mom if she knows that what she says to you hurts. Let her know you love her. Try to get your brother out of her bed!

Get a ballon, put some urine and crap in it, with about 80 percent of it full of water. Then throw it him, works like a charm!

Make SURE that she goes to the bathroom before she goes to bed and try to keep her away from liquids an hour before she goes to bed.\n\nThere's no reason other than them having a smaller bladder capacity and not waking up in time.\n\nDon't use diapers since they'll make her feel infantile. Either slip one of those pads under her sheet or use pull-ups.
