What causes bed wetting?

Simply put; the brain and bladder aren't talking to each other like yours and mine do. But hang in there, the program we run has a very good chance of helping your child beat their bed wetting problem.

Facts

  • Bed wetting is 95% hereditary - your child may have inherited someone in your family's small bladder or "slow to develop" nervous system.

  • 20% of all 5 year olds wet the bed so it is a very common problem.

  • 60% of kids that are still wetting the bed past the age of 6 years will still be wetting the bed at age 10.

  • Do not punish your child for wetting the bed - the worry of being punished may contribute to continued wetting.

  • The program we operate has a 90% success rate and was developed by clinical nurse Chris Harkess, at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Perth, Australia. In 1993 she was awarded the International Baxter Nurse Excellence Award for her work in the field of bed wetting (nocturnal enuresis).

  • The alarm we use was developed by the Ramsey Coote Company in Melbourne, which was foundered in 1954. It is regarded by many health professionals across NZ and Australia as the "Rolls Royce" of bed betting alarms.

  • Ramsey Coote have been making their bell and pad alarms since 1954 so a lot of time, research and fine tuning has gone into making these alarms. Each has a replacement value of over $2,000 so rest assured your child has the best possible chance of getting dry with a Ramsey Coote alarm.

  • Your child deserves the best and deserves the opportunity to get dry.

  • Praising your child for being dry is helpful.

  • In order for this program to work your child must be motivated to get dry. Their brain must become the "boss of the bladder" and take charge of the program - not have mum and dad do the work for them.
