Help your child stop bedwetting
Bedwetting is a very common childhood problem

If your child is 5 years or older and still wets the bed, speak to their doctor or nurse
Don’t be embarrassed to ask for professional help. They will be able to ensure your child gets the right assessment and will discuss the available treatment options.
Treating bedwetting will allow your child to enjoy their childhood, take part in sleepovers and have a dry night like their friends. There is no need for your child or family to continue suffering. Use our tips and resources to help you manage bedwetting at home and help your child get the treatment they need to stop bedwetting.

Bedwetting is a treatable medical condition from age 5. If your child is aged 5 or older and still suffers from bedwetting, the first step to helping them get dry at night should be an appointment with their doctor or nurse. Your doctor or nurse can help identify the causes of their bedwetting and suggest possible treatment options too.
