BEDWETTING

It is perfectly normal for your newly potty trained toddler to wet the bed at night. Your 2 to 4 year olds bladder still may be too small to hold in a nights worth of urine, and he hasn't yet learned to wake up and head to the bathroom when his bladder feels full.

Almost half of all 3 year olds still wet the bed. Most child development experts consider bedwetting normal until about the age of 5 or 6, when only 12 percent of kids still wet the bed.

Do not scold or embarrass your child. Calmly change the bedding and his pajamas. Or let him wear absorbent or disposable training pants to bed.

If your child still isnt staying dry at night six months after he's mastered daytime toilet training or by the time he is 5 years old, consult your pediatrician.
