Most common Parents’ mistakes about Bedwetting

Hi. My name is Dr. Jacob Sagie, I’m a bedwetting expert and one of the co-founders of TheraPee
At “Dr. Sagie Bedwetting Clinics”, we know how important it is for you, as a parent, to help your child outgrow bedwetting and that you are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this.
If you don’t know what to do, rest assured you are not alone and believe it or not, many medical professionals have little idea what to do either. As a result, we know that despite having the best of intentions, there is every chance you may have actually made a few understandable mistakes which, unfortunately, may have made your child’s condition worse.
The following comments are well known and obviously make sense. There’s only one problem. They are all false:
  • Waking your child in the night and taking them to the bathroom will teach them to wake up on their own and go to the bathroom before they have an accident. This is the most common mistake. By waking up your child at night, the responsibility for staying dry is transferred from the child to the parents. Children empty their bladder regardless of pressure within the bladder. There is no learning process, and children become accustomed to emptying their bladder during sleep. It is important for the child to take responsibility for staying dry.
  • Allowing your child to wear pull-ups will reduce the number of accidents. An easy but wrong method to deal with the bedwetting problem is by using pull-ups. It is perfectly alright when pull-ups are being used with 4-5 years old but when it is being used with older children, it is a big mistake. It suppresses any motivation to become dry; the message delivered by the parents is that they anticipate that he will wet the bed and that they do not expect him to cope with the problem. Instead of coping with bedwetting they perpetuate it. There is no learning process. As the child’s age progresses it might lead to low self esteem, low confidence and additional emotional problems that could be avoided.
  • Reducing your child’s fluid intake in the evening will solve their bedwetting problem. Fluid restriction before sleep time accustoms the bladder to function at night with a small amount of fluid.
Surprised?
Not as surprised as you will be when you learn that the following 5 statements are all myths too!
  • 1 – If the child has wet the bed, the cause is likely to be a medical or psychological problem…… This, in most cases, couldn’t be further from the truth! In fact 90% of bedwetting problems do not have any medical or psychological connection. The primary cause of bedwetting is simply unusually deep sleep, and parents describe their attempts to wake their child at night and take them to the bathroom as “like dragging a sack of potatoes.”
  • No 2 – Bedwetting requires no treatment as the passage of time will see it stop automatically……Unfortunately, the passage of time has seen no signs of the problem ending for too many people.
  • No 3 – Your child is basically lazy and wets the bed as a consequence…… It is tempting to think this may be the case, but you have to ask yourself whether any child really enjoys waking up in a urine soaked bed?
  • 4 – Medication is the most effective way of ‘curing’ bedwetting…… In simple terms, bedwetting is not an illness which requires a cure; it is a problem which requires a solution, nothing more, nothing less. That is why we cannot and will not endorse chemical intervention with drugs such as DDAVP. Children should not be forced to take drugs when there is a better and less dramatic solution available.
  • 5 – Bedwetting alarms are the most effective deterrent as they wake the child and encourage them to go to the toilet…… Unfortunately, about 40% to 50% of patients will stop bedwetting by using a bedwetting alarm.  For most patients, however, the alarm is insufficient, and other therapeutic techniques must be added to the treatment.

Parents’ Reviews

John (USA):
“I’m just a dad who believes strongly in the Bedwetting TheraPee system, and wanted to write a review from one parent to another. I have always been skeptical of product reviews. I always wondered who truly takes the time to review a product unless they were being paid to do it. Well, no one is paying me to write this review. I am a believer in the TheraPee product. Our youngest child just would not stop wetting the bed. He was 10 years old, and we were running out of hope. We had been to several urologists, had tried various medicines, and had tried other pee products. We tried pharmaceuticals and homeopathic drugs. Nothing worked. We even tried a chiropractor. Everyone told us to not worry, he will grow out of it….but when? We were going on 10 years of wetting the bed every night. It was affecting his self-confidence. He would not stay at a friend’s house nor go on any overnight summer camps. Finally, my wife stumbled across the TheraPee product on Amazon. We didn’t order it right away because it is expensive. However, it definitely works!
When we finally ordered, we watched the videos together with our son and explained how it would work. He was on board right away. He wanted to stop wetting the bed at night, but just couldn’t help himself once he felt asleep. However, the TheraPee system made all of the difference in the world! He had several accident-free nights the first week, and it just got better from there. Every night we would log in to their website and record his progress, and the stickers and “video conference” every 2 weeks really gave him motivation. He really felt like they were talking to him in the videos. The # of accidents dropped off dramatically, and after 2 months we were done! After about a month or 2 of accident free nights, we stopped using TheraPee, and in that time he has only had 1 bedwetting accident. Don’t worry about spending $$ on this product, and wonder if you are wasting your money on just one more thing that won’t work. This system works. Our son finally broke free of the bed-wetting monster thanks to TheraPee, and your child can too!”

“My daughter is 7 years old and has never been dry at night, I’ve never worried about it, thinking that she will soon grow out of it BUT this year she started junior school – year 3 – and the sleep over party invites began and the summer camps are due at the end of this school year, this made my daughter anxious, not wanting to miss out but afraid of her peers teasing her for bed wetting or having to wear pull ups! I decided I needed to try and help and so I researched ALOT and realised that a bed wetting alarm is more than likely the only thing worth a try, I then researched bedwetting alarms ALOT and soon realised the only one I would use is THERAPEE – I loved everything about it apart from the price tag!!! £200 is a lot of money and it took me awhile to decide to buy it, but I did! and I’m so glad I did!!!
My daughter started this programme 8 weeks ago and hasn’t wet the bed for 5 weeks straight – I’m amazed it worked so quickly. The first week was the hardest and after the first 3 nights I was going to throw therapee in the bin!!! I was shattered so was my daughter, but the 4th night she had her first dry night, that gave us hope, she had 3 more dry nights in the first two week block, the next two week block she only had two wet nights out of 14!!! and has been dry every night since!!! we are only 8 weeks in to the programme and will keep going until the programme is complete. My advise to any parent reading this – ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY – BUY IT!!!!
Update: it’s now been 18 months since we completed this program and she’s not had a single accident since!!! Bed wetting seems a long decent memory now!!! I’m so so so glad we did this, so worth the money!”
Lisa, (USA):
“We have SUCCESSFULLY completed our bedwetting program! I am holding back tears while writing this. This is a day we have been waiting to come for a years….about 13 to be exact. I can’t write enough words to say “Thank You!” We went to every doctor and tried every kind of medicine available for bed wetting. Nothing worked. This program was so easy, yet it worked!! I did have all the apprehensions at first…she will never wake up, it will wake me up too much, it can’t work, how is it different, etc. However, it proved me wrong. How I wish I would have found it years ago! I just wish everyone experiencing this issue could find your program. I tell everyone about it that I hear is suffering from bed wetting. The problem is, many families keep this issue a “secret.” This has made such a big difference in my daughter. She just went to her first sleepover (at age 13) and is excited about going to church camp this summer! So again, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! A very happy mother.”
