subject: Natural Cures For Bed Wetting - Stop Bed Wetting Today [print this page] Bed wetting or enuresis is defined as the involuntary voiding of urine beyond the expected age at which voluntary control should be achieved, usually five years of age. Enuresis can have a great impact on a childs life. Children with this condition may avoid participating in social activities, such as sleepovers and camping trips, with their peers. These children may also have problems with odor control.
Parents may ask, What are the natural cures for bed wetting?
Number one: Use a bedwetting alarm. A bedwetting alarm is an electronic device used as a treatment option for nocturnal enuresis. The alarm activates when the wearer urinates. Each alarm has a moisture sensor component and an alarm component. When the child first begins to urinate the sensor will detect the moisture and trigger the alarm. Number two: Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Children love structure, and so a consistent bed time routine will help children relax. It will also improve their quality of sleep. With set schedules, children know exactly what to expect and they become more satisfied.
Number three: Do not let your child drink lots of fluids before bedtime. Monitor your childs fluid intake during the day and especially at night. Number four: Allow your child to go to the bathroom and void immediately before going to bed. Number five: Stay calm and supportive of your child. If there has been an accident, you should encourage your child to go back to bed after the sheets have been changed. Tell your child that accidents can happen and reward your child for dry nights instead of punishing him for wetting the bed. Remember that praise and recognition of progress are so important with children.
Again, wetting the bed can have a great impact on a childs life. But parents can help their child by looking for natural cures for bed wetting.
