Bed Wetting

Bedwetting is a topic people often shy away from. Parents may be embarrassed to broach the subject with their child specialist/pediatrician, and doctors typically assume that if a child is wetting the bed, the parents will inquire about it. Parents need to be proactive and talk with their child’s pediatrician.

Bedwetting (sometimes called nocturnal enuresis) is a common condition that affects many children and young people. Although most children grow out of it, this may take many years and some may need help to become dry at night. It can be very distressing and have a considerable impact on the child or young person. It can also be very stressful for their family.
