Child Wetting the Family Bed

Naomi Aldort

Our 4 year old has started to wet the bed nightly. After she chose to give up diapers, she would have an occasional night time accident. We didn't try any strategies to change it since I thought she'd outgrow it. But instead, she's wetting the bed every night now. Since we family bed, we're all waking up very wet and uncomfortable. We haven't made a big issue of it with her and she doesn't seem bothered by it at all. This is souring my husband's view of cosleeping a little though. Do you have any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

Dear Parent,

Being out of diapers when awake does not mean being ready to be without them during sleep. The family bed can stay dry. Use diapers with doublers at night.
