 I would keep of the advise received on here on mind, but would still have her checked by a MD, my former best freinds son is now 16 and he wet the bed untill 14 yrs he had a condition where his kidneys did not grow the normal size they should be i dont remember the full details but she had the MD check him out and that was the finding, not rying to startle you, but cant look at every case as it being normal better to be in the know. i just hope that it is just a phase, but by no means do you make her feel bad, thisis something she cannot control.

reader, anonymous, writes (29 June 2008): I agree with the health visitor. I seem to remember wetting my bed up until I was about 7. I think its perfectly normal. I'll tell you what's NOT normal, its the fact that she is getting upset about it. Why is she getting upset? She must of overheard you talking about the normalcy of it...You should really relax. She's a baby and they need to be made feel good about themselves, bedwetting and all. Furthermore there is NOTHING unusual about it at that age. I am just glad that my mom was so loving and nonchalant about stuff like that when I was little. I think that is why I was such a happy, confident and fearless child and a great student. Children absorb everything. They are new to the world. They don't know right or wrong and certainly don't know to feel ashamed about something unless they have LEARNED to feel ashamed through someone else's judgments. If you want to teach a child about right and wrong, its simple. Its wrong to steal. To lie. To hurt others. But bedwetting at age 5? C'mon...I would focus more on your reactions to your child more than the bedwetting. The bedwetting is NORMAL. But your fear of it is not. Please relax so you can make this child feel safe and happy.
