Bed Wetting Solutions – Many Different Ones To Choose From
Peter Crump
Finding bed wetting solutions is something that parents spend a lot of
time looking for when they have an older child with a bedwetting
problem. There are many products on the market that offer relief in
keeping the child dry at night, but these are not really solutions that
will cure the bed wetting forever. When a child continues wetting the
bed or redevelops bedwetting past the age of 5, a thorough
investigation needs to be carried out by a health care provider.
Usually bedwetting stops as the child’s bladder develops and he/she
learns to recognize the signs of a full bladder during the night. There
are several bed wetting solutions available for parents to use.
One of the most common bed wetting solutions is to use one of the many
bed wetting alarms that are on the market. Many different manufacturers
make these alarms and they are not all alike or equally effective. It
may take a bit of experimenting to find the one that is right for your
child. These alarms are devices with moisture detection systems. As
soon as moisture is detected, an alarm sounds to wake the child so that
he/she will go to the bathroom instead of wetting the bed. You still
need to use urine collection products such as liners or pull ups along
with these bedwetting solutions because they do take time to change the
sleep/waking behavior.
Even with using bed wetting alarms as a solution, in the case of
children who are deep sleepers, they may still need to be awakened by
parents. The sound of the alarm will need to be adjusted so that
parents will wake up when it goes off, if this is the situation. They
also need to be reset, so children have to learn to do this or the
parents will have to be awake so that they can reset the alarm. These
bed wetting solutions usually take about 4 to 6 weeks before the child
becomes adjusted to being awakened by the sound of the alarm. They also
need to be snug so that they won’t come off in the night and they need
to be comfortable. If these factors are not taken into consideration,
then the alarms will not be effective bedwetting solutions.
Studies with the use of bed wetting alarms have shown that they are the
most effective bed wetting solutions. After 12 to 14 weeks of
continuous use, the child learns bladder control and will wake up when
he/she needs to use the bathroom. Although there are medications that
are also effective bedwetting solutions, they do have side effects that
can make the child sick. In addition, when you use medication as a
solution for bed wetting, as soon as the child stops taking the
medication, bedwetting will resume.
Some of the other bed wetting solutions include hypnosis, chiropractic
therapy and exercises to improve the muscles of the bladder. Of all of
these, however, the bed wetting alarms have proven to be the most
effective of all. This is because they use behavior modification as the
method of bed wetting solution, which is the one that will last.
