Any suggestions as to why my 11year old son is.....?

First off, thats good that you realize that you shouldn't get angry with this behavior. I've seen it too many times that parents will get mad at their child for wetting the bed.

Moving along, well it sounds that your problem might just be insignificant. Yes, he is wetting again after a dry year, so he could just be falling into a relapse. Just relax and do the same things you did when he was wetting before.

-You might want to see a doctor. I don't want to scare you but it is a good little precaution to take. "Better safe than sorry" I say.

-Try disposable underpants at night, if you haven't already done so. As much as he may not like it, they help keep the mattress and sheets dry.

-You might also want to try out some bladder exercises. Have him drink three large glasses of water and hold it as long as he can. And when he does use the restroom, make sure he gets rid of all the fluids as best as he can. Do this twice every day and these exercises should last for about a week and a half to three weeks. If you see improvement in his...for lack of a better word, performance. However, if he begins to wet more (frequently and quantitatively), stop the exercises immediately and get him on his regular diet.

I hope I could be of some help.

School just started. The change in schedule alone is enough to break his dry streak. Encourage him that it's not his fault ("You were asleep! You can't do anything wrong while you're sleeping!") and leave an extra sheet and blanket and pair of pjs on his dresser at night so if he does wet the bed, he doesn't have to go through the extra embarassment of having to wake up Mom & Dad in the middle of the night - he can change it himself. And give him a designated place to put his soiled sheets in the middle of the night so you can easily know if he's had an accident in the morning, without having to create a huge discussion about it. (Maybe he can put his wet sheets in a trash bag and set it in his doorway in the middle of the night. That way you'll see it when you get up and can throw them in the wash easily.) Practice making his bed with him when you make this plan, then turn out the lights and practice again.

If, after giving him these tools to empower himself and giving him time to adjust to a whole new school year, he doesn't improve, mention it to his doctor at his next checkup and get more ideas.

There must be something going on. School just started is there possibility a new school or a new teacher is he hanging out with the same kids from last year? Have there been any changes? Even if they seem minor? Some kids regress when there has been even a slight deviation in the evening schedule. Try looking there first. Look at everything from sports, TV schedules to when and when he is having dinner is it early or later than it was over the summer break. Try and simplify.

He might be hitting a growth spurt that his bladder hasn't caught up to yet. He's about the right age for it. Try resticting the amount of fluids he drinks from dinnertime onwards and make sure he goes (or tries to go) right before he goes to bed.

The other thing to consider - make sure he has NO discomfort when going. Some kids wet when they have a bladder or urinary tract infection. (That's mostly littler kids, but anything's possible.)

Obvioulsly a question suitable left for a clinical expert. yet with that mentioned, as long because of the fact the burden earnings is robust, looks alert and energetic, and arising mentally, then there is not any longer something to rigidity approximately. each toddler is distinctive, and could progression at their very own %.. do no longer stress the concern, yet do supply techniques such as you have executed. dissimilar toddler nutrition, cooked mashed vegies, and so on. stay remote from cows milk for a on the same time as, too many hormones, anti-biotics. Use soy milk or different processed of prepaired toddler formula.

I am ashamed to tell you how old I was when I stopped bed wetting. My parents spent a lot of money to find out this little known fact. There is a sphincter muscle in the urinary tract. It is shaped like a do-nut. If it is not developed properly, the person has little control over urination. When your child is using the bathroom to pee, tell him to pee and stop, pee and stop, as many times as he can. This causes this muscle to develop and eventually the problem is cured. It worked for me. Good luck.

You may be able to ask that question on WEBMD. A suggestion might be to set up a bathroom time in the night. If he goes to bed at say 9pm, maybe wake him up before you go to bed and have him go to the bathroom again. Or set his own alarm to get up during the night...for self sufficiency issues...

Maybe he is having other problems outside of home like at school or with friends. That can often lead to problems like bedwetting.

Maybe it's stress over the new school year. Is he in 6th grade, New school? Even if not a new school year brings some stress on kids even if nothing is wrong.

I think your kid is just lazy.

He doesn't care to get up in the middle of the night and go use the washroom.

What you need to do is get him up in the middle of the night and make him use the washroom. Even if he says that he doesn't need to go. Just to get him in the habit. Wake him up twice a night and make sure not to break this routine. He will eventually get into the habit of getting up when he feels the urge to "go".

It is very important that you do not break this routine and make sure he gets up and stands in front of the toilet and tries, even when says he doesn't have to.
