6 Myths About Bedwetting

The Truth About Bedwetting: Separating Fact from Fiction

As a parent, it's tough to see your little one struggling with bedwetting. But don't worry - you're not alone! Bedwetting is a common issue for kids and it's important to separate the facts from fiction to help your child overcome it. So, let's take a look at some of the most common myths about bedwetting and see what's really going on.


Myth 1: Bedwetting is all about being lazy or naughty.

This one hurts because it couldn’t be further from the truth. Bedwetting is a medical condition. Children who wet the bed aren’t being lazy: their bodies aren’t yet ready to stay dry all night. It's not something they can control and it’s definitely not their fault.

Myth 2: All kids will grow out of it eventually. 

Many do, yes, but not all. Sometimes bedwetting can continue well into the teenage years or even adulthood. But that doesn’t mean anything is "wrong" with your child; they might just need more time and support.


Myth 3: If you punish them, they’ll stop.

We know how easy it is to feel frustrated, especially after another bed change in the middle of the night. But punishing a child for something they can’t control adds shame and anxiety. And shame has never solved a medical issue. What helps? Love, patience and a calm conversation, maybe with a doctor, too.


Myth 4: Just boys wet the bed.

Yes - it’s true that boys are statistically more likely to deal with bedwetting. But bedwetting is something both boys and girls experience.


Myth 5: Stop giving them water before bed.

Sure, limiting drinks right before bed might help a little. But bedwetting is rarely just about how much your child drinks. Sometimes it could be about bladder development, constipation or even a family history of bedwetting. And if your child doesn't drink enough during the day, it can lead to dehydration or constipation and increased chances of bedwetting accidents.


Myth 6: Waking your child up at night teaches them to stay dry.

You might keep the bed dry for a night, but it will not teach your child to wake up when they need the toilet. Most kids are still half-asleep when you lift them up and it can confuse their body’s natural signals. Even the NHS advises against this. What they really need is time, support and sometimes medical advice


If bedwetting is part of your family’s life right now, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong - and neither is your child. This phase will pass. 


In the meantime, small changes can make a big difference. Like using PeapodMats: soft, 100% waterproof bed pads that stay in place without straps. No crinkly sounds. No shifting around. No piles of laundry at 2am. Just a little peace of mind - for both of you.
