Bedwetting, also known as nocturnal enuresis, is a common condition in children where they unintentionally urinate while sleeping. It typically occurs in children aged 5 and older, and many outgrow it as they develop. Factors contributing to bedwetting can include genetics, deep sleep patterns, and a small bladder capacity. While bedwetting can be distressing for both children and parents, it is usually not a sign of a serious medical issue. Various strategies, such as limiting fluid intake before bedtime and using bedwetting alarms, can help manage the condition. In most cases, children will eventually gain control over their bladder during the night.
