SUNIL Raj	i had a similar problem with my son till 8 years. he is all right now. give your daughter more independence and let her grow self confidence. dont ridicule her , shout at her, anytime infront of others. self confidence of the girl is the key to the solution.

flyingbumblebee	I think that most kids grow out of it when they realize that it is not some thing they want to wake up with. I think it just takes time. My son is a bed wetter and we have tried every thing to help, even the get ups in the middle of the night. We have put him in those night pants for kids and some day soon I am hoping that will become a bad thing for him since he is almost 10 and make himself aware on his own. I've had a lot of advice on how to fix it, but the best is to let them realize how embarrassing it is on their own and they will eventually fix it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DJ KRAZY T or KnucKKle$ C	a good solution would be a diaper or pull-up. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Miss Vira	Before she goes to bed try making her go to the bathroom. From what I heard is kids this age sometimes pee the bed because their bladders are not growing as fast as their bodies are and unfortunately this is something that you cannot help. They sell this underwear that is called goodnights for kids this age. The underwear are like diapers but they do look like real underwear. Try those on her and don't punish her for what is going on with her body. Her bladder will eventually catch up to her body and she will be fine. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brown Eyed Susan	best wishes; my 9 yr. old Grand-daughter does the same thing; I don't know the answer! - Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

b_friskey	I wet the bed until I was 15. That was back, well, a long time ago. Back then it was considered an emotional problem and my mother tried everything including torture to get me to stop....DO NOT humiliate your daughter into stopping, she can't help it. She will just have to grow out of it, and she will, I promise. Just get her some Depends, or night Pull-ups until she starts waking up on her own. Some kids are just born with smaller bladders and sleep too deeply when they are young... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Simmy	I mean I wet the bed from time to time when I was little. I don't remember when I exactly stop. It may have been by age 8....Tell her to use the bathroom before she goes to sleep and not to drink alot before bedtime. Do you mean she does it from time to time or like every other night? I fthe doctor says she is fine she may be fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

momof8	My 14 year old daughter stopped bed wetting at about 9 or 10. We took her to the Dr. also, and were told not to worry. After months of waking up in the middle of the night (every night) and still not succeeding, we tried an alarm that she slept on. It sensed wet and sounded. That didn't work either. We even tried some medication for awhile. She just had to grow out of it. She is very petite and I assume she just has a small bladder and it had to grow enough to get her through the night. She is fine and healthy now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sanangel	have her quit drinking water or anything a couple hours before she goes to bed...and if she needs a drink just let her have a sip of water...and the doctor told us to not to make a big deal out of it but i think you should praise them when they do not wet the bed..i also make them take the sheets off the bed and put fresh ones on...and getting them up in the night is a good idea if they are not so sleepy they do not know what they are doing.. and pee all over the place anyway...that is aggravating..it is hard to deal with sometime but hopefully taking the liquids away plenty of time before they go to bed should help a lot...

hellokittygal94	You should try GoodNites like diapers for sleeping but for older children. Eventually she will grow outta it there really isn't anything you can do about it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

RivenPhoenix	This is much easier then you think. You child is very smart; all she has missing is behavior. To fix this problem you need to wake her up every 3 hours and walk her to the bathroom and make her go. This will cause in her mind that, if she wants to sleep, she needs to get up on her own and go to the bathroom, if she wets her bed then mother will wake her up. This is a solution that will work because she will learn sooner or later that to live as a human being you have to Think. give her responsibility. Get a new Gynec. In the long life of your child that she will live, the most important lesson to teach is you think with your mind. The Gynec is making a drama out of nothing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SHORTY	I started the same thing at about her age. My mom took me from dr to dr, the same thing from each, nothing to drink after 6 pm, limit my intake,make sure i go to the bathroom before I go to bed, wake me up several times during the night and make me go,it was my nerves, something must be upsetting me that my parents didn't know about,( such as something at school) ALL to no avail. Then even had one who said my bladder didn't grow with me and that my bladder stem needed to be stretched, that my bladder couldn't hold much at a time. My mother wouldn't let them stretch it, and eventually I quit, so I assumed it was my bladder grew as I did,BUT never never get upset with her as my father a cruel man, laughed and made fun of me, put plastic under my sheets for me, calling me all kinds of names, then my parents would fight over him doing this and them I would do it more. He said it was because i was to lazy to get out of bed and go to the bathroom. He had my nerves shoot. So please just go with it until she out grows it, and she will, trust me, I lived it Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bluerosebud1976	this is a disorder that alot of kids deal with, there are "diapers" that I saw in Parents magazine that are thin and not very noticeable for kids her age. This will at least cut down in other problems that come with it. Sometimes the bladder of a child is not fully developed yet and this is why the bladder cannot control itself during sleep. try and cut down her fluids at least 60 to 90 minutes before bedtime. this will give the fluid enough time to get through so that she can go to the bathroom before bed and there will not be as much fluid running through her system. another thing that you may consider is the amount of sleep she gets, sometimes kids when they don't get enough sleep they are to tired to realize in the middle of the night that they need to go. she may be to tired. (not trying to offend with that one) I know that my 10 year old's best friend had this problem until just last year. good luck with this. let her know that there are alot of kids dealing with this, and not to be too embarrassed, it is part of growing up for some people. blessed be Was this answer helpful to you?

WinterRhya	Don't let her drink soft drinks or tea or any thing else before bed. If she has to let her have a small glass of water. Also, make her go to the bathroom before bed. You'd be surprised at how many kids just get so busy they forget to go. If it continues to be a problem, give her some of those older kid night time pullups. She won't have to tell anyone, and it might help. When she starts sleeping through the night without wetting she won't have to wear them anymore. But that's only if it continues even with regular trips to the toilet. I would think that it would be best to not highlight it unless you have to. Otherwise it'll become a big issue for her, and it could be potentially embarrassing. She should grow out of it eventually. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

priya a	don't give her much liquid to drink before bed time. take her to toilet just before she goes to sleep and if possible 2-3 times in night also. I know this well help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Arun K	I think she should go to the urinal before going to bed as a rule. Apart from that please don't nag her about this despite the trouble you will face. Be loving and patient. I'm sure she will soon stop wetting the bed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LittleBit	children this age do this all the time. I don't have kids, but i have little cousins, and i work with children. Ur daughter will grow out of it. But 2 help her not to wet the bed during her sleep, don't let her drink liquids after a certain time. She's still young and her bladder probably wants 2 just let go while she's sleeping. Make sure she goes to the bathroom b4 going 2 bed. And assuming that u go 2 bed later than she does, b4 u go 2 bed, wake her up and tell her 2 go 2 the bathroom, if she doesn't have 2 or not. There is always urine in there even if ur not ready 2 go yet. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gillian	First of all To the people who have givin STUPID answers GROW-UP this is a 9 year olds life we are talking about!! My Brother was a bed wetter up to a double figured age and really nothing but time and patience cures the problem...... make sure she goes to the tiolet before she goes to bed, even if she thinks she doesnt need to she will!........ dont make a big deal of it as the stress of knowing she might do it and get in trouble or upset her will make her worse...... and the most important thing......NEVER let her hear you talking about it with other people, this will make the problem worse than ever. Good Luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
