(continued)
Here are some other tips that may help your child:
- Give your child most of his or her fluids in the morning and afternoon.
- Limit caffeine from chocolate or colas, especially at night.
- Have your child use the toilet before he or she goes to bed.
- Let your child help solve the problem, if your child is older than 4. He or she can help decide which treatments to try.
- Offer your child disposable nighttime underpants. Don't force your child to wear them, but they are fine if your child is comfortable using them.
- Praise your child for dry nights.
