Things to remember when dealing with bed-wetting

Things to remember when dealing with bed-wetting
• Bed-wetting just once is not a cause for concern. It is only a concern when it occurs repeatedly after the
age at which you expect the child to have learned to control urine (usually five years).
• Children with mental retardation may take longer to learn how to control their urine. However, just because a child wets the bed, it does not mean he is mentally retarded
• Bed-wetting is most commonly due to delay in development or a urinary tract infection. In either case, the outlook is good and all children will recover.
• Simple advice on how to control the bladder and passing urine at regular intervals can help most children.
