If your child has any bladder issues, these drinks are best avoided at all times - not just before bedtime.

🍊 Citrus drinks - orange, lemon, lime etc.
🥤 Fizzy drinks - cola, energy drinks and even sparkling water

These can irritate the bladder, causing contractions of the bladder overnight, which can lead to bedwetting.

If your child has any bladder issues, this drinks are best avoided at all times - not just before bedtime.

Alarm therapy can be a really useful tool for children who are heavy sleepers.

HOWEVER: the alarm should only be brought in at the right time – if their bladder capacity is too small, the alarm will go off a lot and your child will be unable to hold on, which is quite frustrating for everyone.

I recommend booking a bladder capacity assessment prior to using alarm therapy.

A vibrating watch is a really useful tool to use at school - many of our parents in clinic recommend TabTime. It literally just vibrates to help alert the child when go to the toilet. You can set it for 2 or 3 hours, depending on your child's toilet schedule. It's good for school, because it doesn't distract others in the classroom when it vibrates – just inform your child's teacher, so they are in the loop.

Ensure your child has adequate hydration!

Concentrated urine within the bladder can cause a lot of contractions, which will make the wetting worse. Think also about what your child is drinking - remove all bladder irritants (blackcurrant, orange juice, fizzy and caffeinated drinks)

5-year-olds are easily distracted, so toilet time is never at the top of their to-do list! This can sometimes lead to wetting accidents.

However, at this age they should definitely have dedicated toilet time and, ideally, a toilet routine. Also, speak to them about how they are feeling, because some children this age do not recognise the signals of needing the toilet.

You might be surprised to find out the size of your child's bladder, depending on their age.

👉 Age 5: 180 mls
👉 Age 8: 270 mls
👉 Age 11: 360 mls

So if you're giving your child (especially young ones) a drink before bed, they might not have the bladder capacity to hold onto it overnight. Which = bedwetting.

Bedwetting regression can happen if you've fallen out of a routine. It's important to stick to a routine for quite a long period of time and sometimes, you might need to make sure that your child is having adequate fluid intake during the day.

Are you restricting fluid before bedtime? Are you making sure that they aren't eating or drinking bladder irritants?

"When is the right time to remove nighttime pull-ups?"

When your child has an adequate bladder capacity to hold on overnight!

It's also worth weighing pull-ups when they have been on overnight (yes, really!), just to see how much urine is being passed overnight.

Top tip: 1g = 1 ml

Foods your child should be eating if they are constipated! 🚽

To help ensure that your child is getting enough fibre in their diet (particularly if they suffer from constipation), think "your child's age + 5 = how many grams of fibre they should be having per day"

Fibre-rich foods we recommend are broccoli, Weetabix, sweet potatoes and pears.

“How often should my child 💩?”

For children with bladder problems, they should be emptying their bladder daily.

We do not want any 💩 within the bowel, that can then press against the bladder and cause the bladder issues to become worse.
