Best Nighttime Protection
5 to 7 million children between 4 and 11 wet the bed. Bed wetting may be caused by your child having a small bladder capacity and not being able to tell when his bladder is full. Bedwetting is usually a stage of development that kids simply outgrow with patience and time. Check with your child's physician to rule out any illnesses or physical reasons.
Most kids just need time and patience until they outgrow bedwetting. Treatments can range from simple measures you can start at home to physician recommended options.
Motivational Therapy
A progress calendar that tracks dry nights is another way to encourage a child through bedwetting. Be sure to wait until your child has started to experience dry nights and put the calendar away for a while if progress slows down.
Limiting Fluids At Night
One of the simplest bedwetting treatments is to limit fluids before bedtime - especially caffeinated or carbonated drinks. Limiting fluids 2 hours before bed and one last trip to the bathroom are simple steps you can take each night.
GoodNites® Sleep Pants
They help protect more than just sheets when other treatments take a while. GoodNites® Sleep Pants offer discreet, absorbent protection to help your child get a restful night's sleep.
