Bedwetting Support Group

Bedwetting (or nocturnal enuresis or sleepwetting) is involuntary urination while asleep. It is the normal state of affairs in infancy, but can be a source of embarrassment when it persists into school age or the teen or adult years. Find others who are coping with a bedwetting problem and share your experiences and questions.

Our daughter is 6 and still wets the bed. She wears diapers at night since she doesn't wake up and pull-ups or goodnites leak. She's also likely to have an accident if she falls asleep during the day or can't get to the bathroom soon enough, so we still put her in diapers during the day for trips and other events like that.

Does anyone else do something similar? I have a hunch it's more common than most people think, but it's just something that people don't talk about very often.

hey ya im 13 and i have bedwetting issues since i was like 10. the doctor said it has to do with stress and its something ill also have to grow out of. my parents decided to put me in diapers for the night and sometimes the day cuz i have had accidents. Your daughter will most likely grow out of it you just need time probs. we r in the same boat !

We've gone through problems with our now 10 year old daughte as she was growing up. We seem to be breaking out of it now, but it was a struggle. She had some medical issues to work through and now that everything has been resolved the daytime accidents are about done.

I'm not sure how common daytime accidents are, but I know that bed wetting is more common.

HI Amyd045, I have two teenage daughters who are still in diapers day and night. So you are not alone. You may be lucky and grow out of the diapers.

I believe I can understand your struggle. I'm not a mother however I'm looking after my stepbrother but I admire my mom for the efforts and care she always gives us just to make our live better and more comfortable. My stepbrother and I are wearing adult diapers with plastic pants.
I wish you good luck with your daughter.

Sorry to here this about your daughter. I know it must be hard on you, and especially your daughter. I'm sure she will out grow this soon, just keep your chin up.

Hi Amy
How is your daughter doing? Did her wetting improve?

mommyn3 03/13/2019

Your not alone. And I agree I think more parents keep there older kids who wet in actual diapers than that most would think. We have tried goodnites, underjams, pull ups, they all leak. The only thing that keeps my 8 yo dry is regular diapers. He has never had a dry night and has been in some type of diaper every night of his life so it's normal for him. I say use whatever works best for you and your kid.

I believe there is no benefit for anyone when choosing pull-ups or underjams and live in the fear of wetting bed and pants.
There are now good absorbent diapers on the market in all sizes for all ages from babies over teens to adults so why not use what is available.
