REMEDIES FOR KIDS BED-WETTING

I told us in my last post that I am learning a lot during this lock-down and compulsory stay at home. 

I told us earlier how I had turned a professional plate washer, I can bath the kids now conveniently, put cream on them and wear them clothes. I can conveniently now clean them up when they pee or poo. I have learnt how to tuck them to bed too. The only thing I have not turned pro to is to apply the dusting powder on them when there is excessive heat. I find it difficult somehow, only their mother knows how to do that well and it really looks fine on them. The times I tried it even myself was scared of the result and kids look. I won't tell you how they look, am sure you can guess. That story is for another day when I am ready to laugh at myself really well.

Now back to our topic. The remedy is simple but it required a lot of discipline and sacrifice.

Let me tell you how God did help us with our own kids, although 99% of the credit belong to their mother. I will manage the 1% shaaaaa. This is what we do...

Before going to bed she will take them to pee. At night whenever she wakes up, she will do the same. Sometimes in the middle of the night up to 2 to 3 times at night before day break and the kids will sleep very soundly. After a while she gets use to it except maybe when she is ill or not feeling too well that is when I assist if I am at home and to the glory of God none of them have issues with peeing in bed while asleep or bed-wetting.

You can do the same. As parents you must be disciplined and you must sacrifice your own comfort and convenience for your kids so they and you can be happy at the long run.

There are other remedies though which I personally have not tried and I really cannot recommend them because I am not a medical personnel but if you feel it resonates with you, you can give it a try. That is making sure you reduce their liquid intake before they go to bed and making sure they eat earlier so whatever digestion needs to take place in them can be done before they go to bed and they too might have done the peeing or wee wee themselves before bed time. Like I said earlier I have not tried it but you can consult your doctor to find out if the recommendation is okay for kids. But, the one that worked for us as parent is the one I recommend initially that if we can sacrifice our sleep a little and be disciplined enough to take responsibility just for a space of one year or two, that is when the kids are between one to three years old, with God on our side, I want to believe bed-wetting will be a thing of the past in the lives of our children.

For those who are already experiencing a chronic type of kids bed-wetting I have the following recommendations:

1. Always pray with your kids before going to bed. If they are already asleep, you do not need to wake them for the prayers, just pray on them while they sleep.

2. Follow the recommendations above. I am sure if you really love your kids, it is not a sacrifice that is too heavy to pay

3. Seek medical advice or counsel

4. Don't be afraid and ashamed of them, with time and God on your side they will outgrow it no matter how long.

5. If you feel it is not normal or ordinary when they get to certain age like I said earlier, seek medical help and you can also seek for help or prayers from a genuine man of God.

You will not be ashamed of your children and no matter how long you live, you will not cry over any of your children in Jesus name.
