5 things that don't work for bedwetting

The Truth About Bedwetting: What Doesn't Work for Kids

2. Cutting back on fluids? Not so fast!

It may seem like eliminating fluid intake during day time is the answer to bedwetting, but in reality, it can actually make the problem worse. When we don't drink enough water, our bladders can become overactive, making bedwetting more likely. Ensure your child drinks a lot of water throughout the day but try to limit their fluid intake from about 1 hour before bedtime.

3. Disposable pads & bed protectors? Sorry, but no.

Bedwetting means ruined mattresses and piles of extra washing. So it's important to protect the mattress, but with what? While disposable protectors might seem cheap at first glance, the environment surely won't thank you for this choice. Additionally, they normally don't stay in place and are not very absorbent, leading to even more mess...

So what to do? Protect the bed with 100% washable bed pads - PeapodMats! No more piles of unnecessary washing, just one mat that can be washed with your regular laundry. Problem solved!

4. Wake-up calls? Meh...

Waking your child up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night can help reduce the frequency of bedwetting, but unfortunately it's not the answer to bedwetting. Bedwetting occurs during sleep, and waking your child up to use the bathroom won't solve the underlying issue in a long run.

5. Time will tell? Not necessarily.

While most kids do grow out of bedwetting on their own, some continue to struggle with it well into their teenage years, or even adulthood. Bedwetting is a medical condition that often requires proper medical attention, and waiting for your child to outgrow it may not always be the best course of action.

So, there you have it! The bedwetting myths that won't do a thing for your kids. By seeking proper medical attention and approaching the issue with love and understanding, you can help your child overcome bedwetting and move forward in a positive direction.
