Bed-wetting in
children
- Babies
pass urine in the womb.
-
Newborn babies may urinate 18 times a day.
-
In Victorian times, children who wet the bed were allowed only plain and boring food. It was thought that cakes and pastries made bed-wetting more likely by causing ‘irritating’ urine. (Of course, this is not the case.)
-
In an average class of thirty 10-year olds, there
will be two who wet the bed.
- Bed-wetting
affects 5-7 million children in the USA and 500,000
children in the UK.

Bed-wetting is common, and it affects many teenagers and adults as well as children. This section is about bed-wetting in children. If you are older than 13, or an adult, and still wet the bed, see Bed-wetting in teenagers and adults.
