Bedwetting during sleep is more common in young children than previously thought. Most children outgrow this type of bedwetting by the age of 5, but in some cases, it can still be ongoing.
All children wet their beds and at some point have “accidents” while potty training. This is a normal and expected part of the learning process. In general, bedwetting can also occur after your child has been potty trained, which usually occurs between the ages of 2 and 4 years. But since every child is different, your child may or may not fall into this age group.

The key to dealing with a bedwetting incident in your child is not to scold them or make them feel embarrassed. Instead, keep calm and help them understand that it was an accident, that it happens to many children, and that in time it will go away.10 tips for dealing with bedwetting in your child:
