What is Bedwetting (Enuresis)?
Bedwetting in Children also known as enuresis, is the involuntary passing of urine during sleep. It commonly occurs in young children, especially those under the age of 4 to 5 years. During this age, children are still developing bladder control, and occasional bedwetting is completely normal. For more information please visit

While daytime bladder control usually develops earlier, nighttime dryness may take longer. Several factors can influence this development:
-
Bedwetting is more common in boys than girls.
-
It often depends on the overall health and development of the child.
-
Genetics can play a role — if one or both parents had similar issues, their child is more likely to experience it as well.
-
It is frequently observed in children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
As a result, it’s important to remember that each child is different. Some may achieve dryness earlier, while others need more time.
Types of Bedwetting
Understanding the type of bedwetting helps in identifying the best treatment.
1. Primary Bedwetting
In this type, the child has never had consistent nighttime dryness. They often sleep so deeply that they don’t wake up when the bladder is full. Moreover, these children may not respond to the body’s signal to urinate, especially during sleep.
2. Secondary Bedwetting
Here, the child had been dry at night for at least six months before the bedwetting reappeared. This usually suggests an underlying cause, such as:
-
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
-
Anatomical abnormalities in the urinary tract
-
Diabetes mellitus, which causes increased urination due to high blood sugar
-
Emotional stress or changes at home or school
Clearly, addressing the root cause is essential for successful treatment.
Is Bedwetting Treatable?
The good news is — yes, bedwetting in children is treatable! Especially when no serious medical condition is involved, many children outgrow it over time. However, for parents seeking a gentle and holistic approach, homeopathy offers effective and safe treatment options.
Let’s take a look at some well-known homeopathic remedies for bedwetting:

Final Thoughts
To sum up, bedwetting in children is common and often resolves naturally. But when it persists or causes emotional distress, homeopathy can provide a gentle, effective solution. Rather than suppressing symptoms, homeopathy focuses on treating the root cause — both physical and emotional.
With the right guidance and treatment, your child can enjoy dry nights and improved confidence.
