one with this problem.
So learn all there is to know about bed-wetting, and take active
steps to help your family through it.
How a Doctor Can Help
The first person to talk to about bed-wetting is the
doctor. Your child's physician can help you figure out why your
child is wetting the bed and recommend the best course of
treatment.
There are several treatments available today that offer
short-term relief. All of them take time, and unfortunately, none
have a 100 percent success rate.
Most kids just outgrow the problem. Your child can use
GoodNites® Pyjama Pants with any of these treatment options to keep
their sheets dry while you're waiting for the treatment to become
effective. Please consult with your doctor to make sure this
information is right for your child as some circumstances will
warrant different treatments.
Treatment
Sleep Conditioning
The doctor may prescribe a nighttime alarm that attaches inside
your child's underwear or GoodNites® absorbent underpants; when
your child begins to wet, the alarm wakes them so they can go to
the bathroom. Medication
The doctor may prescribe medication meant to stop bed-wetting.
Medication is generally only used for more difficult cases and/or
special occasions. Mostly medication is used only for a limited
time.
