Anyone able to recommend how to get a 4 year old to stop wetting the bed 😁 not looking forward to buying pull ups and diapers 😐
Sometimes kids don't always know how to express their fears either. especially at 4 years old. She could just say scared of the dark but it's a little deeper than that. and yeah being in a new environment is a huge step for a little one :) she'll be alright, it'll just take some time.
She's only scarred of the dark is all, but there's a whole lot to her being here so it could always be that too. She's my step daughter but we have like night lights and everything for her she's gotten up before on her own when we've been in bed and she was fine. I think maybe she's having a hard time with waking up and knowing she has to potty when she's in a deep sleep. @michellevaldez4750 @marzuniversal that's actually a very good idea lol something smart honestly
My 7 year old still sleeps in bed with us and will have me go into the bathroom with him sometimes. not always but he still gets creeped out in the middle of the night. even with some lights on.
and also it's easier than having to change all the bedding all the time!
@jnanzer94, yeah. I hated them lol. I hated the noise that they made. So I rarely wet the bed when wore it but I would go right back to it without it.
If it is that she's scared maybe if you put a baby monitor in the room so when she has to go she can wake you up to take her? it will be a pain to have to get up with her but it would help her feel more secure and you can always work on getting her to go by herself slowly when she gets more comfortable.
She tells us she's scarred @michellevaldez4750 I have a scentsy I keep on for her. And @marzuniversal ohh those sound interesting!!
I wet the bed until I was 12. Turns out my spine was punching the nerve so my brain wasn't getting the signal that I had to pee. Chiropractor fixed it in one session. But it would maybe be good to try bed wetting alarms first. They have these pads that go in your underwear and they beep really loud when they get wet. Idk where to get them through.
Maybe she's nervous about walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night?? if everyone else is asleep she could be creeped out by the quiet darkness. A lot of kids are scared and don't really want to say anything
She has a doctors appointment coming up so we could have that done! Thanks guys! @mrsdoyle @3.26.16
I know this may not be the case, but if it's a big problem, have her checked for Diabetes. I wet the bed at 13 before I got really sick and got diagnosed. it's probably not the issue, but better safe than sorry!
That's exactly what I was thinking honestly @3.26.16 when she wakes up in the morning she's real quick to pull her pull up off
yes pull ups just make kids use the bathroom on themselves in my opinion. if she pee in her underwear she probably won't like the feeling.
That's typically around the time we stop giving her drinks @3.26.16 I was just debating on if I should try having her sleep in underwear. We tried once and she peed the bed still.
oh well don't give her anything after 5-5:30. my son usually goes to bed at 10 I don't give him anything after 8. he used to pee on the bed all the time
Yep! We don't do anything to drink after dinner and she goes potty before bed and comes out when she has to go. But after around 2am she stops and must just end up going in her sleep. @mommyoftwo1
My 4 year old gets put to bed at 7:30. She's never had a routine due to her mother not really caring and so I have to put her down earlier since she lays in bed for the longest time awake. @3.26.16
@jnanzer94, well pull ups are good to use if she has too many accidents but teaching her to wake up and go if she needs it is the best way because then she won't stay in bed when she needs to go.
Do you have him on a schedule ? Far as he cant drink anything at a certain time ... And make sure he use the bath room before bed
Well so far she's done pretty well about coming out in the middle of the night to go potty and we don't give her anything to drink after dinner, I also have her go potty before bed but I just don't know what else to do, 😒 I feel like if I go in there to wake her up she's gonna stay awake or she's going to cry when she goes back in her room to go to bed.
dont give them anything to to drink after like 8 o'clock thats what i do to my 3 year old
