Bedwetting in 5- 7 year olds

"As your child gets older, they can get more anxious about bedwetting and worry that something is wrong with them so it’s important you support your child and ensure they know they’re not alone."

5-7 Year Old Bedwetting Myths & Facts

It’s normal for kids in this age group to wet the bed.

If they’re bedwetting it may be because their bladder isn’t yet big enough to store all the wee they produce at night time. Or it may be because the connection between their bladder and their brain is not yet fully developed. In short, they’re too young to be expected to stay dry throughout the night.

Try not to compare your child with other children in your family, mother’s group or social circle. As with most developmental milestones they all get there in the end and it’s clear that the time between achieving daytime dryness and night time control is different for every child. While some two to four-year-olds achieve dry nights in a matter of weeks, others take months or even years to get there.
