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.
