Check with your peds: Behavioral therapy (self-awakening), bedwetting alarms, overlearning, alarm clocks, and medications (such as desmopressin). Sometimes complementary and alternative therapy could help, such as hypnosis, acupuncture, chiropractic maneuvers). Treatment is often prolonged and may involve cycles of success and failure. You have to consistently follow-up with a pediatrician (approximately q 4 months).

Needs workup: Is there a history of bed wetting in your family? Was your daughter ever trained and then started to wet again? These are a couple of question you need to answer. Take your child to be evaluated by her pediatrician or a pediatric urologist to make sure she has no underlying problem.

15% of 5-yr.-olds: have never been dry at night for at least 6 mos., 15% of them/yr. stop bed wetting on their own after age 5. A child's risk for "primary nocturnal enuresis" is much higher if a 1st-degree relative had it. See her doctor for a 1st-voided AM urine for urinalysi. Put a light-weight sleeping bag on top of a plastic sheet on her bed, one she can put in the laundry. Do not scold, shame or punish her.
