Night time bed wetting

[Dalmation1]

Hi everyone. I’m new here

So last summer for son was dry at night. Didn’t get up for wee but held it in. He kind of just done it himself so I went along. Come September when he started nursery he started wetting the bed and wanted to go back into his pull ups. I didn’t put pressure on him and with the start of school. I had a baby along with lockdowns and Covid I just put it to the side.

This year he wanted to come out of his pull ups and he yet again done a fantastic job. He even started getting up for a wee in the middle of the night if he needed to.

Now the last few weeks he keeps wetting the bed. One night it was even twice and they are huge and the bed gets so wet. He will be 5 in December so I no I can’t ask for help anywhere so was looking for some advice from anyone on here. Thank you x

Constipation the guilty culprit until proved otherwise. Not drinking enough during the day, not going to the toilet enough during the day either. Regular toilet sits are extremely important, after every meal is best. Make sure he is emptying fully, get him to count slowly to 30 you will be surprised how much more liquid comes out. Double void before bed. Regression is normal at this age

Should I speak to the school and ask them to make sure he drinking enough during the day. He takes a bottle but often it’s full when I pick him up. He is a very strong willed child so getting him to sit on the toilet won’t be easy but will try my best

Yes absolutely speak to the school. I suspect he isn't drinking enough at school and filling up too late in the day hence the night time accidents. Just take him after every meal, he will soon get into the habit of going, persistence is key.
