Bed wetting

How long has she been dry at night for prior to this?

Have you had a new baby or anything changed in her environment? Moved house, relationship split up, death of a loved one etc?

What is she doing when she’s trying to stay up until midnight?

Since she was 2.5 she was dry at night!
No baby, she’s an only child . Nothing has changed as far as I can think of, me and her father aren’t together but we broke up when she was 1 so that’s nothing new
She will just lay in bed shouting that she’s not going to sleep or sit talking to herself. I’ve tried laying/sitting with her to calm her down but then she messes around and if I leave her she just screams at me and tells me it’s unkind! I’m lost on ideas

How is she at school? Is she on half term next week as be interesting to see if that makes a difference.
The advice given to me was to avoid milk and blackcurrant and increase fluids in the day. I don’t think they make referrals until age 7 but could ask the school nurse if it continues.

Has she just started reception this Sept or did she go into year 1?

Have you asked her if something has happened at school?

Have you asked her teacher how she is in class? Does she have friends or is she mainly alone?

At school she’s doing well the teacher said she has no issues with her. She’s in reception, she’s friends with children she went to nursery with plus a few more from her class .
She said she enjoys school, I just hope something changes soon!
I’ve tried talking to a local health visitor but she was useless🤦🏻‍♀️

How much is she drinking during the day at school?

You could try limiting drinks to solely water with her dinner and give her a measured out amount of say 200ml and increase the time from 1 hour to 2 hours before bed no liquids.

What’s her routine when she comes home from school? Is she sufficiently stimulated at school? My daughter is also 5 and started reception this year and when she comes home she is knackered lol

Something has happened to make her want to stay up late and also wet the bed. You just need to be persistent in letting you know you are a safe space for her to tell you anything.

She has a bottle of water at school, a cup of milk in the morning and a cup with her lunch.

Oh that’s a good idea I will try that thank you!

Get home, read her books and do the homework then have a snack and she plays before tea , then tea normally a walk after tea bath and bed .
She said school is boring and she’s not doing much there but not sure if that’s just something she says?

She just wants to constantly play it’s like she’s never tired! I keep telling her she can tell me everything even if it’s a secret and that she’s safe with me and I will always look after her! I’m just really struggling, she finds wetting the bed funny
