wetting the bed!

I think my daughter is regressing, but not sure why this is happening. She is 4 1/2. Fully potty trained. Pottey trained close to 3 yrs old. She was in good nights for a long time. Then we said enough already. She did good for a few months. Now it seems like almost every day i am woke up very early by her telling me the bed is wet.

Suggestions? Advice??

this is not something i can relate to, but I HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE! My son is 4 and has been fine at night for over a year now.... but hopefully it stays that way i guess... did you guys move? or have there been any signifigant chnges in her life? I know that kids sometimes regress in those circumstances... looks like you may have to go back to the "goodnights" for a while.. have you sat down, and talked with her about it? asking her why she thinks that she's doing this? Also, tell her how hard it is for you to have to clean everything up every day.... maybe she's scared to go out of her room by herself? is there a nice, bright light on in the bathroom all night? Try asking her to yell to you when she has to go.... i hope some of this may help you, cuz i can imagine that it would be EXTREMELY frustrating!!!

Has there been any big changes in her life? New school, new teachers, new babysitter, new sibling? Children usually regress a little when they are under some sort of stress.

I don't have advice except to put her back in Pull ups at night until her body is ready to go all night again. Getting angry won't help the situation.... you don't want to get into a power struggle over bed wetting.

Make sure you are doing the usual... no water before bed, have her empty her bladder right before bed time. If she is scared to go to the potty by herself in the middle of the night, a bright night light in the bathroom and one in her room.

Sorry I don't have any better suggestions. And good luck.

hi guys. no new changes at home. she is our youngest, has her own very cute girly room. We have a good bedtime routine and she does go potty. I did buy a new nightlight for the bathroom. I dont know if she is afraid to get up at night? I have never told her about getting up in the night if she had too. Maybe i will try that.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
