It is normal for children to urinate in bed until age 5, but at age 3 they may stop urinating completely in bed.
To teach your child not to urinate in bed, the steps you can take include:
- Putting a mattress that covers the entire mattress is a great way to prevent urine from reaching the mattress.
- As some materials completely absorb urine and prevent diaper rash.
Nighttime enuresis is often linked to simple causes, such as changes in temperature, increased water consumption during the day or changes in a child’s life, so when such situations arise, there is no need to worry.
It is recommended to go to the pediatrician when the child who has not urinated in the bed for a few months, frequently returns to urinate in the bed, some situations that can influence this type of behavior are movement, the absence of parents, discomfort and the arrival of a little brother However, nocturnal enuresis can also indicate health problems such as diabetes, urinary tract infections and urinary incontinence, for example.
