Bed Wetting 9 year old

[pinkmama]

Hi. DD1 is 9 next week and still wetting the bed. She used to do it a lot and after a discussion on here a couple of years ago we cut out ribena and anything other than water after 4pm. In fact she actually only really likes water now anyway. She is size of most 12 year olds, so there is a phenomonal amount of wee when she does it. She goes through phases, could have a dry few months and then it starts again and its several times a week. Bought her a new quilt and pillows yesterday because the others were so smelly all normal cleaning was useless and lo and behold this morning her bed is soaked again. I manage to stay calm even though it drives me mad, so much washing without beds everyday, and she seems ok with it.

However, do we need help? I am worried that my taking her to GP it becomes an issue for her and I dont want her to feel bad, but am concerned that its still going on.

Any advice or experience would be appreciated.

It's not her fault - she can't control it

She needs to go to the GP and be referred to a enuresis clinic/expert.

Although she seems fine with it, it will start to have a greater impact on her as sleepovers and school away trips become more frequent.

If you google for enuresis then you can find a lot of very helpful links

Thanks soap box. I know its not her fault. I have never said anything negative about it to her. Its just that internal scream that goes off!

I agree that it will probably start to affect her psychologically soon so you are right, its probably best to talk to her about it and go and see the GP.

Thanks
