A member asked:

Child almost 5 still wets to bed but potty trained at 2 any suggestions on bed wetting &is this normal at her age? she is upset when pees at night

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Enuresis: Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) in a 5 year old is likely to resolve as she matures, discuss simple techniques with your pediatrician or see a urologist for treatment options. Bedwetting alarms, evening fluid restrictions or prescription DDAVP (desmopressin) are all appropriate considerations at this age and older.
