Potty training is one of the most challenging parenting jobs. Once your child is consistently dry during the day, you would assume nighttime dryness is right around the corner. But for many children, nighttime bedwetting, or nocturnal enuresis, can continue into adolescence! Infants have no signal from the brain when urination will occur. This signal develops during the daytime around age 2 or 3. By age 5, most children can wake up dry. Dr. Todd Bush, a Kansas City pediatrician with Premier Pediatrics says, “10 to 15 percent of 7-year-olds still wet the bed. Of those who are still wetting nightly, about 15 percent will become dry on their own. By age 15, about 99 percent are dry.”
