Advice And Help For Your Chronic Bedwetter
By:
Theresa Cahill and Jeff G
Too many people know the frustration of
waking to find that a child has wet the bed.
Most instances are isolated, in that it was
only a random accident. Unfortunately, for
untold thousands of families, this is
actually a nightly occurrence. Thankfully,
there is help in the form of a bedwetting
alarm.
It is important to note that children who
wet the bed do not do so on purpose; as a
matter of fact, they are probably as
perplexed, annoyed, and tired of having
nightly episodes as you are. There are
several reasons why this could be happening
to your child, but regardless of the cause,
the nighttime urination can be curbed with a
bedwetting alarm.
For some reason, most kids who are chronic
bedwetters do not receive the brain signal
from the bladder that causes most everyone
else to waken and head to the bathroom. So a
bedwetting alarm that is attached in two
places-a sensor near the point of urination
and a speaker attached near the
shoulder-causes the brain to receive the
missed signal.
In most cases of bedwetting, the child
simply sleeps right through the episode, but
other people in the house can also hear the
alarm, waking them up. Then the parent has
the task of awakening the child and telling
him or her to go to the toilet. After time,
the alarm will eventually wake the child
directly. So a bedwetting alarm works as a
conditioning tool to reprogram the brain to
receive the signals that the bladder needs
to be emptied.
Obviously, the fact that these children
don't wake up, like most people do when
their bladders have reached maximum
capacity, is the real problem. Actually,
full bladders during sleep hours are not
exactly normal, anyway.
There are several reasons why a bladder
becomes engorged in the nighttime hours.
Drinking too much, or anything at all, right
before bedtime is a sure way to encourage
the bedwetting. So, too, is the consumption
of caffeine. It acts like a water pill,
encouraging excess fluids in the body to
move into the bladder. The diuretic effects
exacerbate bedwetting issues.
So, whether the child drinks too much, has
caffeine in the diet, or is simply not
receiving signals to the brain that say "I'm
asleep, so stop filling my bladder," the
bedwetting alarm will condition a child to
recognize the need to awaken if and when the
bladder needs to be purged. This has helped
thousands of families leave the
embarrassment and frustration of chronic
bedwetting behind.
