Understanding and managing bedwetting: a guide for parents

Bedwetting, also called enuresis, is quite normal for children to do as they are still learning how to control their bladders. When babies are born, they are unable to control their bladders and bowels – rightfully so! – and parents will put them in diapers so that they can “go potty” whenever. But as they start developing communication skills and independent mobility once they’re a little older, between 18 months to three years, they will indicate their readiness to use the toilet themselves.
