"How can I wake up my son at night to use the bathroom?"

How can I help my 7 year old son to wake up at night and use the bathroom, he is a very deep sleeper and sometimes we can't get him awake at night time.

KrystalE answers:

Being a deep sleeper, may be a contributing factor in bedwetting in some children. Limiting fluid intake and waking your child to go to the bathroom can be used with some success, but experts agree that the best method for managing a young child's bedwetting is just waiting for physical maturation. Parents and children dealing with enuresis can be comforted by the fact that young bladders are slowly maturing.
