Is bedwetting hereditary?

The question "Is bedwetting hereditary?" is one that we see come up on a regular basis and with good reason, because it is true that bedwetting is hereditary. Indeed, heredity plays an important role in bedwetting. If one of the parents has suffered from bedwetting in the past, there is a 43% chance that the child will also suffer from it. If both parents have suffered from bedwetting in the past, the probability is as high as 77%! In more than half of the children, one of their parents wet the bed until later in life.

 

 

Because bedwetting is hereditary it affects the child's potty training. As a result, potty training has a smaller chance of success but fortunately there are tools that can remedy this problem.

Doctor visits

We know that bedwetting is hereditary so before going to the doctor, get a good picture of your own history regarding bedwetting.

  • At what age were you dry as a parent and what about the grandparents?
  • Does bedwetting occur in others in the family?
  • How was the potty training process during the day?

According to doctors' guidelines, bedwetting untreated has a good prognosis. It requires patience and restraint.

What to do about bedwetting

When your child wets the bed you naturally wonder where it comes from and the question is bedwetting hereditary is not the first question that comes to mind. You then begin to wonder what is going on in your child's life. Is there a troubled situation? Is there stress within the family or at school?

Bedwetting can also be a phase that cannot be directly traced but it can also have a medical cause. It is very important to be aware of this and to see a doctor. Psychological problems alone are almost never a cause of bedwetting. However, psychological problems (ADHD, ASD, stress, ...) may worsen it and/or complicate treatment.

  • Never knew a dryly bedwetting alarm would be a godsend! An alarm clock in the shape of a soft toy and no one sees that you have a bedwetting alarm in your room. We ordered a package with 4 underpants was cheaper than loose and then unfortunately No reimbursement from the insurance I thought at first, quite an expense but actually you can strip the money away.

  • Fine program! Top system for our son. Only the pants are quite small and too bad that wizzu only has 1 alarm sound. Otherwise a super program.

  • Shipping took a little long, but her product is top notch! Daughter loves it with the toy and the app and is super motivated partly because of it!

  • What a great invention!!! I was suspicious about the bedwetting alarm at first but immediately after 1 week of use we saw progress. Meanwhile both sons are potty trained with Dryly's bedwetting alarm. Huge pluses for the fun method and playful approach!!! Dryly thanks for your invention.

  • Our 7-year-old son wet his bed so much every night that no diaper could stop it. When we saw dryly passing by on Facebook, we were a little skeptical at first. Because we became so despondent about the situation, we decided to purchase a dryly bedwetting alarm anyway.

  • After also sending an email to dryly they called me nicely And walked me through the program the device is now working properly. The telephone support is really perfect this man took all the time.

  • Setting up the dryly was a little tricky at first because it kept not picking up our WiFi network. But after a call to the fine customer service department, the system worked fine after a reset. The app works with a reward system which made us enthusiastic to get started. The first nights we got 2-3 reports of accidents every night.

  • Daughter of 5 was wet every night, therefore chose to order the dryly. The first week she did not wake up despite the vibrate function. The 2nd week this was different and she did wake up from the alarm and vibration function, but in a wet bed. The 3rd week she woke up immediately from the alarm as soon as there was 1 drop in the pants, this made her stop and go to the toilet.
