Bedwetting in Children: Homeopathic Care in Calicut & Wandoor

Understanding Bedwetting

Why Does My Child Wet the Bed?

Bedwetting is very common and is almost never a child's fault. Many children stay dry at night only between ages 5 and 7, and a fair number take longer. It often runs in families.

It is more likely when sleep is very deep, when the bladder holds less at night, when constipation presses on the bladder, or during stressful times such as a new sibling or school change.

• Family history of bedwetting
• Very deep sleep, or a small night-time bladder capacity
• Constipation
• Stress, worry or a big change at home or school
• Occasionally a urine infection, diabetes or another medical cause

The Homeopathic Approach

Gentle Care and Practical Steps

Homeopathic treatment is chosen for your child as an individual after a gentle history covering sleep, fluids, bowel habit, emotions and general health. It is offered together with reassurance, which matters as much as medicines.

Helpful steps include a relaxed bedtime routine, less fluid in the last hour before bed, using the toilet just before sleep, treating constipation, and praise rather than punishment. Never scold or shame a child for wetting the bed.
