My son wets the bed, what should I do, diapers, plastic sheet, make him do his laundry?

Whats the best way of approaching this??My son wets the bed, what should I do, diapers, plastic sheet, make him do his laundry?
I was a very late bed wetter. Your son needs to be told that many boys and girls wet their beds even when they are teenagers. It is just something that happens to some boys and girls as they grow up. I would have liked something like the pull up pants that substitute for a diaper and now are available for children and adults. They would be good to have plus an absorbent pad to put on the bottom sheet to protect the mattress. If he doesn't wet then he can reuse the pull up the next night. If all you can find are diapers, then he needs to know that even mommies, and daddies, and older brothers and sisters use them if they have bed wetting, or wetting problems. He needs to know that he is still a big boy and will out grow wetting the bed.





Now you could be talking about a teenager. They wet the bed too. If it is infrequent then they will out grow it in time. Even they would likely prefer to be in a diaper or pull up then awaking in a soggy wet bed.





If the wetting is very frequent then the child needs a doctors visit for help.My son wets the bed, what should I do, diapers, plastic sheet, make him do his laundry?
You said your a teen baby diaper lover. This is a load of crap.

Report Abuse

Do not humiliate him with diapers, doing his own laundry and punishment. He could have a small bladder and just can't hold it. Perhaps you could restrict his drinking liquids before bedtime. Have you had him checked by a doctor? He may even have a urinary tract infection. Make sure it's not a medical problem before your try anything else.
How old is he? If he is under 8, it is common for boys to wet the bed still. It takes many boys longer to be fully dry at night. If he is over 8, it is probably a medical concern. You shouldn't punish him for something he has no control over. It isn't his fault. Take him to see a doctor if he is over 8 and find out if there is something else going on.
My younger brother use to wet the bed for a long time (till he was about 7 or 8 i think), my mum started off using a plastic sheet underneath and she used cot sheets for a while so it was easier to change.


Then she started using pullups and they seemed to work fine, and he didnt mind using them
how old? And no! it is not his fault. No punishment will make an involuntary bodily problem go away. You are making it worse.


Wake him at 4 hours into sleeping for a few weeks and try to get him to start waking up to go.


And for goodness sake take him to the doc to assess the problem.
I think a diaper would work or a pull up depending what age your son is... But of a teen they need to grow up nad should be in a diaper and treated like a baby and even time outs or spanking for teenagers.
I would put him in diapers or goodnites sleep shorts which are like boxers. This way you avoid laundry and still take care of the problem
not a diaper because it will make him feel like a baby, which will make him feel not normal, but a pull-up would work
Punishment solves nothing.





No liquids at least 3 hours before bedtime.


For thirst, suck on an ice cube.
You should of potty trained him by now, geez..............
