subject: Cure For Bed Wetting - Stop Bed Wetting Today [print this page] We are all born incontinentWe are all born incontinent. An infants bladder empties involuntarily depending on stimuli and urine volume. During toddlerhood, a childs pelvic nerves and bladder control center develops, and voiding gradually becomes voluntary. Bladder capacity increases 30 ml each year during the first eight years of life. Bladder control during the day is usually achieved between the ages of two and three, and nighttime control is mastered by age four. Oftentimes, girls are successfully toilet-trained earlier than boys. Many children achieve daytime continence while still lacking bladder control during the night. Most children outgrow bedwetting, but then again, around ten percent continue with nighttime bedwetting.
Use a bedwetting alarm. A bedwetting alarm is a device that emits an auditory and/or tactile sensation in response to wetness. The alarm is attached to your child's underwear or pajamas in the area that one would expect the first drop of urine to be expelled. When your child wets, the alarm makes a loud noise to alert him or her that wetting is occurring. Your child hears or feels this and learns to get out of bed and empty their urine into the toilet. Gradually, your child learns to respond to the feeling of a full bladder by going to the bathroom before the alarm goes off in what is called behavioral conditioning.
Apply the lifting technique. This strategy involves making sure your child goes to the bathroom right before his bedtime, and then waking him up after he has been asleep two or three hours and taking him to the toilet.
Lastly, establish bedtime routines. Aside from making sure that your child goes to the toilet before bed, you can also limit the amount of fluids that your child has around two hours before his bedtime.
