My son is 5 years old and he still urinates his bed, he has a 7 month old brother I have red that this is normal but my concern till what point.
Should I punish him for this behaiver ?
I am really concern about it, please help me.
__Hello,We had the same problem with our little girl.Do not punish the child
We stopped giving her milk and milk products and since that moment she has never wet the bed again.She used to wet every night.

My son is 10 and still wets the bed at least a couple times a week.
We have seen a pediatric urologist and I have been told not to worry
he will grow out of this he just sleeps to soundly. I agree with the
last person who responded to not punish him it can even make the problem
worse from what I have read on the subject. The urologist we seen did
a ultrasound on my son and found no abnormalaties so we just need to
be paitent. I find it does help if I wake him to use the bathroom before
I go to bed as I am always up later. Hope this helps and hang in there.
