My son is 5 and also sometimes wets the bed. I do exactly what Regina said and that works really well. Its normal for some kids to wet there bed at that age though so i wouldn't worry about it to much, its just all the washing we have to do lol

some kids have under developed bladders or just sleep too deeply and wet the bed until they are 7 or 8 even 10 yrs old. You can use disposable or cloth night time pants until he stops wetting the bed. Try not to make a big deal out of it. Explain to him that it is normal for some kids and give him a pail to put the wet pants into in the morning and let him take care of it himself so it's not an issue. He will grow out of it.

Hi Shanet!! my daughter is nearly turning 4 and i had a problem with her wetting her bed as well, what i did was give her a drink 1 hour or so before she went to bed, and then took her to the toilet before she got into bed, it seemed to have worked, i hope it works out for you both it's hard.
