6 Myths About Bedwetting

The Truth About Bedwetting in Kids: Separating Fact from Fiction

As a parent, it's tough to see your little one struggling with bedwetting. But don't worry - you're not alone! Bedwetting is a common issue for kids, and it's important to separate the facts from the fiction to help your child overcome it. So, let's take a look at some of the most common myths about bedwetting and see what's really going on.


Myth 1: Bedwetting is all about being lazy or naughty.

Many people think that children who wet the bed are just being lazy or naughty, but this simply isn't true. Bedwetting is a medical condition known as nocturnal enuresis, which means that the child can't control their bladder while they're sleeping. It's not a choice and it's definitely not a sign of laziness or defiance!

Myth 2: Kids will grow out of bedwetting eventually.

While it's true that most kids will eventually outgrow bedwetting, some will continue to struggle with it into their teenage years or even adulthood. There's no set timeline for when a child will grow out of bedwetting, so it's important to understand that this is a real medical issue that may require some help from a doctor.


Myth 3: Punishing a child for bedwetting will help.

Punishing your child for bedwetting won't solve the problem - in fact, it will only make things worse. Your child will feel ashamed, embarrassed, and stressed, and that's the last thing they need. Instead, it's important to be supportive and understanding and to seek medical help if needed.


Myth 4: Bedwetting is just a problem for boys.

While it's true that boys are slightly more likely to wet the bed than girls, bedwetting is a common issue for both boys and girls. So, don't be fooled - this is a problem that affects kids of all genders.


Myth 5: Cutting back on liquids before bed will solve the problem.

While limiting fluid intake before bed can help reduce the frequency of bedwetting, it's not really a solution. There are lots of factors that contribute to bedwetting, including genetics, bladder control and sleep patterns.


Myth 6: Waking your child up through the night will train them to wake up by themselves.

While it might help to keep the bed dry, it will not train your child to wake up when they need the toilet. NHS also advises against it. The effect might be completely opposite and teach your child to pee during sleep, as a child is pretty much still dreaming when being lifted for a wee in the middle of the night.


Bedwetting is a very common problem for children. By approaching the issue with understanding and seeking medical help if needed, you can help your child overcome bedwetting and move forward in a positive direction.
