Bedwetting
Your child is certainly not the only one who wets itself! Children become toilet-trained during the first years of their life Children become aware of the urge to urinate. Children also need to learn how to retain their urine at night or wake up to go to the toilet. Bedwetting refers to the situation in which a child who is no longer an infant regularly wets its bed without there being a medical reason. Although this is a difficult problem, something can be done about it.
Training using a bedwetting alarm
Bedwetting alarms teach children to wake up from the feeling of a full bladder. The bedwetting alarm sounds an alarm immediately the child begins to lose the first drops of urine so that the child can stop urinating. The alarm is switched off and the child goes to the toilet. After a while, the child automatically wakes up when its bladder is full.
What happens next?
Over the course of time the alarm will sound less and less frequently as the child begins to wake up automatically. The bedwetting alarm can be set aside once the child has stayed dry for fourteen nights in a row. The child has overcome its bedwetting after a further successful fourteen nights without the bedwetting alarm, and the training is complete.
Are the purchase costs reimbursed?
Your healthcare insurer may reimburse all or part of the cost of a bedwetting alarm, depending on the type of insurance that you have taken out (whether you have supplementary insurance alongside basic healthcare insurance). You will need a written statement, with reasons, from your GP or specialist to qualify for reimbursement.

Frequently asked questions
Bedwetting is quite common, so children who wet their bed do not need to feel ashamed. Nevertheless, it is a great problem for both the child and its parents/carers. The child can become uncertain and develop a negative self-image. Bedwetting can also harm its social life, as an overnight stay at friends or school camp can suddenly become a serious problem. The impact on the social life of the child increases with its age.

This trains the child to go to the toilet even when it is sleepy.
