Is there a gentle way to treat bedwetting?

Alatms: Bed wetting will resolve on its own, eventually. You can try a bed wetting alarm. Which, may help it resolve sooner. They can be purchased on line. There is also a medication that can help provide dry nights, but will not treat it.

Depends on the age: Bedwetting is rather common in childhood; about 20% of 5 year olds still wet at night. Often there is a strong family history. For age 6 and under, restrict fluids 2 hours before bed, get them up about 90 min after going to sleep to use the toilet, try and keep the bedding dry, have them involved in cleanup. From 7 and up, alarms have a 75% cure rate if used routinely.

Natural treatment: May want to try hypnosis. Very effective, no meds, restrictions, and very satisfying to the child.
