Continence challenges are more common than you might think. Dr Mona shares with us how she was part of the 1 in 10, having experienced bedwetting up until age 11. She also understands the feelings of embarrassment that tag along with it.
She says, “If pull-ups that felt like real undies were normalized back in the 80s-90s, I wouldn’t have had to worry.”
Dr Mona has partnered with Nundies as she believes the right support can make a real difference in how kids manage incontinence. With reliable protection that helps kids feel comfortable and secure, Nundies gives them the confidence to get on with being kids.
Dr Mona and paediatric occupational therapist Laura Petix, sit down for an honest conversation about childhood incontinence — answering common questions, sharing expert insights and helping parents better understand what might be going on behind the leaks.
Nocturnal enuresis is the medical term for bedwetting and often refers to when a child uses the toilet during the daytime and stays dry, but at night, they have wetting incidents. There are a few reasons why this can happen that are very developmentally normal. One is that your kid could be a deep sleeper. The second reason is bladder capacity. Some kids just have larger bladders, and some kids just don't know yet.
The number one thing you can do is reduce their fluids before they go to bed. Number two is making them use the bathroom before bedtime. And then again, say, "Hey, let's try going one more time before we go to bed." Remember, though, that if they do not go, you're not going to force them, sit them there, or push them down to the toilet because that's pressure, and that will backfire. You're just offering it.
I love Nundies because it's unlike anything on the market; it feels almost like underwear, it's thinner, it's sensory-safe, and it reclaims the idea that kids should be kids and that they're doing a great job.
It's totally normal if your older child is still experiencing bladder leaks! In fact, 1 in 10 children are wetting the bed into their teen years - I was one of those kids; I was 11.
We have made this culture of kids needing to hit 'milestones' at certain ages, but it's ok if your kid may need a little more time. That doesn't mean they're broken. That doesn't mean they're lazy.
It's important to approach conversations with support and reassurance that they're 'not a bad kid'. The worst thing to add is the pressure of meeting a timeline.
“When you use Nundies, you can give that dignity back.”
