What Is Bedwetting and What Causes It?

Even if your kid has toilet training down to a science by day, he or she may still pee in the bed some nights. Sure, changing the sheets can be a pain, but for many kids this is just a normal part of growing up rather than a problem to worry about. Remember all the embarrassing and silly things you did when you were their age (and sometimes even as an adult)?
So why does it happen? Well, doctors can’t quite put their finger on a single cause of bedwetting. (Fun fact: did you know they call it nocturnal enuresis?) But, instead of having an underlying medical or emotional reason, it seems that bedwetting is just a phase many kids go through before naturally growing out of it.
Most of the time, bedwetting may happen simply because there is a delay in development in one of three organs:

• The bladder. A smaller bladder means less space for keeping in the pee at night.
• The kidneys. Immature kidneys may make too much pee at night.
• The brain. Sometimes the developing brain is not ready to wake your kid up in time for the toilet.
