Look into therapy but I forgot exactly wat that kind is. It’s in regards to his mouth. Does he sleep with his mouth open? My brother wet the bed till he was 12. Nothing could stop it however that was a while ago

Thank you. By any chance are you talking about Pediatric pelvic floor PT?

no. It’s something to do with the mouth. Let me try to look up wat I’m talking about lol

If he sleeps with his mouth open and or snore you want him to see a myofunctional therapist

Mouth breathing can lead to bed wetting

And mouth breathing also can cause cavities and poor sleep.

Have him wear pull ups at night and ask the pediatrician. If he’s fine during the day and doesn’t wake up / wets while he’s still asleep then it could just be a developmental difference. Some kids take longer for their bodies to stop making pee at night
