Bedwetting in daughter aged 10

[judih1]

My daughter has always wet the bed. We saw a specialist nurse about it and she took Desmopressin tablets for many years. Last year we tried her without the tablets and she was dry for nearly a month. Since then she is mostly dry (as long as we restrict drinks before bed and she has a 2nd wee just before sleeping). However, and this is the weird bit, she often wets the bed the night she's had a bath with a bathbomb. Does anyone else have experience of this or have any ideas why this might be causing her to wet?

I was a late bedwetter, up until 9 possibly 10. My mum let me work it out for myself, put clean bedding in my room so I didn’t have to wake her and in the end I just got the hang of it. I was a very very deep sleeper. However bath bombs are irritating and can give a case of thrush - I wouldn’t have bath bombs in her bath right now to be honest. It sounds like they’re tracking up the urethra and causing a cystitis like reaction.

My 10 yr old DD had a run of bedwetting in the run up to SATS. Never before and never since. Is she anxious?

Welcome to MN, OP.

Thank you, I did wonder if that might be the case. I'll stop them for now, maybe get some babybath instead, see how we go.

does she wet the bed if she has a bath with anything else in it? (Eg plain water or bubble bath). Bath bombs can irritate the urethra but so can bubble bath.
