One of the most common hurdles a mother faces with their kids is bed wetting. Toddlers have a tendency of urinating and this is considered normal but sometimes even potty trained kids up to the age of ten or twelve also wet their beds.

Often bed wetting is genetic but generally it has no specific reason. Night mares are often associated with bed wetting and you should notice the bed wetting pattern of your child to understand the reason behind it.

I have a student about 9 years who had a tendency to wet his bed and his mother was embarrassed and worried about it, but I shared with her some useful home remedies to treat her kid and it did wonders for him.

10 Home Remedies To Cure Bed Wetting

Mustard

In a cup of milk add a heaped spoon of mustard powder and give this to the child just before going to bed. This is considered one of the best home remedies for bed wetting.

Cinnamon

A well known remedy for bed wetting is chewing on a cinnamon bark atleast once a day and preferably in the late evening.

Dry Fruits

Give your child a handful of walnuts and raisins before going to bed. This has effectively cured bed wetting in many children.

Herbs

Stress, is one of the most common causes of bed wetting in children. Children experiencing some form of stress have less bladder control and tend to urinate in their beds. Herbs like lemon balm, Zea mays and cornsilk work well.

Herbal Teas

Herbal teas like lycopodium, oak bark, ursi or wormwood maybe given to the child. These teas do not have any diuretic effects and even help cure bed wetting problems.

N0 Diuretics

Diuretics increase urine volume. Do not let your child have chocolates, dairy products, caffeine or cola before going to bed. These foods act as diuretics and increase the amount of urine produced and thereby irritating the bladder. Not allowing diuretics have helped children in some cases.

Counselling

Some cases of bed wetting can be cured by counseling. You must provide the child with some mental counseling and see to it that your kid has a stress free environment.

If your kid has the habit of urinating in bed do not scold him everyday for spoiling the mattress instead make the child understand that he can easily overcome bed wetting by trying and even praise the child on days he doesn’t wet his bed.

Remember, often children themselves are embarrasses about it and you shouldn’t rub in the fact that bed wetting is bad instead try and help them out psychologically.

Stay Away From Water

Do not encourage you child to have too much of water or any other liquid before going to sleep. Also make it a habit for him to go to the bathroom before sleeping to empty the bladder.

Exercises For Bed Wetting

There is some bed wetting exercises that you can try. Some of these exercises help strengthen the bladder and the bladder sphincter.

Parents can massage the inner thighs of their child with some good oil to improve the muscle strength.

Alarms

Some doctors say that wetting alarms can successfully cure bed wetting problems. A bed wetting alarm makes a buzzing sound whenever the child’s bladder is full so that the child may wake up and go to the bathroom before wetting the bed.

Initially the child has to be accustomed to the whole alarm-bathroom drill and may take up to two months for any favorable results.
