| hi everyone im on my 17th week of my 3rd pregnancy which is going smoothly:d anyway I need advise regarding my 5 year old child because I cant get enough sleep and have been dealing with bundles of dirty linen for about 2 weeks straight now coz she doesnt stop weeing the bed, I believe we've (me and hubby) tried everything that we possibly could to prevent this but still she ends up having this "midnight shower".
Here are sum stuffs that we tried: ---getting her up every 3 hours and taking her to toilet (which is next to her room) ---giving her a warm shower before bed ---the nurse advised me not to give her any drinks 2 hours before bed time ---we lessened the fizzy drink intake ---told her off ---spoke to her gently about her weeing ---our last resort was placing a nappy on her during bedtime but we dont really want her to get used to it plus she's a bit embarassed about it which I dont want to lead to insecurity in the future ---she's gonna have a routine urine test just to check if there's any glucose or protein content (i know its gonna be normal anyway) coz she doesnt complain about pain on weeing or anything like that ---we also tried bribing her with treats and stuffs if she doesnt wee on the bed we did all of this and still not a single tactic took effect im a bit stressed about this as I cant do anymore household chores because of too much laundry (i dunno wot will I do if washing machine wasnt invented) and I always have to check on her during bedtime just to check if she's dry as we dont want her to be drenched of wee. Our radiators is covered with wet linen and towels as I have to make sure there is stock in her room(we gotta change the bed mattress as its starting to smell) thats properly dried. Anyone of you whose been on my situation please let me know what you did to resolve the problem thanks! first off, scolding and treats will not change anything. It could possibly be like my brother--they told us he just slept to hard and his body would not wake him. He was and is very hyperactive. He would run so long and so hard--my mom would say-- he slid in the door--cross the floor --to the tv and he'd be out soon as he landed. Remember it is not a discipline thing, it is genetic. It is not her fault. It is more likely for her to be doing this if she has urinary infection and or kidney infection also--cant hold it the same. Hopefully not though. Good luck
