Hi, This is my first post so I apologize in advance if I do anything wrong!
As the title suggests my daughter who is 9 is urinating on the floor at night. To begin with we thought she was just scared to go to the loo at night as she has hearing loss and nighttime is a scary place without her hearing aids but recently we actually witnessed her doing it.....She sat up in bed, got out, seemed to look at me, pull down her pjs and squat on the floor! I went over to her but she was looking straight through me so I went to pick her up and carry her but she kinda snapped out of it and started crying, really confused but when I laid her down she was fast asleep! When she was younger she was prescribed bladder medication as she had small bladder capacity during the day and regularly wet the bed at night. She has also had night terrors in the past.
I'm in no doubt that the urination is sleep walking but am at a loss as to what to do to help, it's happening most nights....It's affecting her confidence not to mention the embarrassment. I've limited drinks at bedtime (no drinks for 2 hours before bed) and I make sure she wees before bed. I've considered waking her for the loo before I go to sleep but I really don't like the idea of waking an already unsettled child. Any advice would be gratefully received!
