Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Normally babies are dry at night by 3-4 years.
But sometimes children will not become dry upto 12-14 years and even more.
This is known as nocturnal enuresis .
Restricting fluids after 6-7 PM, insisting them to empty bladder before going to bed will lessen the problem.
parents should wake them up once or twice to pass urine.
Do not criticise your child before others about his problem, rather appreciate him if he is dry sometimes.
Imipramine 25 mg daily at bed time will help in getting over this problem.
Hope this answer serves your purpose.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any .
