What To Do With 5-6 Years Old Who Is Bedwetting?

If you have a 6 yr old who is still bedwetting, please nib the root cause instead of jumping on the solution of getting bigger diaper. This is especially referring to normal kids who are not physical or mentally challenged.

It could be he/she is still drinking bottle prior to sleep and still consume a lot of liquid.

Sucking from bottle is a form of getting sense of security and I am sure he/she is trying to get more attention and LOVE from you.

You can start to 'divert' him by doing the following things:

  • give him/her some baby massage,
  • read some bedtime stories,
  • cuddling him,
  • give him a warm bath or sponging before sleep.
  • then slowly but gradually reduce the liquid intake.

This will help to put him to sleep instead of sucking from bottles. :)

Best if you can change to cup feeding because cup feeding tend not to feed to so much as compare to bottle feeding.
