A girl. We did not treat it in anyway and we did not make her feel bad in anyway. Still she was a little self conscience about it. I just encouraged her that it would eventaully go away. I had a little brother who was a bed wetter and my husband was a bed wetter, so I wasn't concerned. We just explained that this was a variation of normal. It went away on it it's own with no treatment at all around age six or seven. I don't know of any adult bed wetters, so a conclude that it does eventually go away.<BR/><BR/>Now we have a "toe walker". The reading I have done on toe walking states that it goes away on it's own. I would think the same for bed wetting. <BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts.Anonymoushttp://meansclan5.spaces.live.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950818248481035615.post-71699520832230150802008-02-06T22:17:00.000-05:002008-02-06T22:17:00.000-05:00Its more common in boys.Permission to Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15005314822461783855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950818248481035615.post-27915454091791872712008-02-06T12:42:00.000-05:002008-02-06T12:42:00.000-05:00Does it seem that boys more often have trouble with this, or is that a misconception?pearly1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/07250141268146858931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950818248481035615.post-4440758134558437222008-02-06T07:54:00.000-05:002008-02-06T07:54:00.000-05:00We had a bed wetter too. I never even thought that we would. Neither my husband or myself were bed-wetters. But once you start asking around, there are a lot of them. <BR/><BR/>What worked for us was creating a new habit. We set an alarm every hour in the night and took her to the bathroom. Then stretched it to every 1.5 hours then every 2...you get the idea. It took some time but worked for us. (about 3 months)<BR/><BR/>We never punished her or scolded. We also never took drinks away. We tried to just create responsibility in herself. (This was also done without a pull up.)<BR/><BR/>We didn't start this until she showed the determination (age 7) and believed in herself. It took both my husband and I to work as a team. He took the early shifts in the night and I took the later ones, to make this work.crispyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14614782132011418603noreply@blogger.com
