Do boys tend to wet the bed longer then girls?

Question

My son is almost 9 and still wets the bed.  Both my older daughters grew out of it at 5. One of my friends said boys tend to wet the bed longer than girls. His pediatrician says he's fine. He just may take a little longer to stop than some. It's usually only about three nights a week. Any advice on getting it to stop completely?

Answer

Yes, it’s normal for boys to struggle more with it, longer. Try limiting his drinks after like 6 pm and make sure he goes before bed. He’ll honestly just have to grow out of it. I had a friend who didn’t grow out of it until he was a teenager. 
It can also be a sign of things like excess stress or sexual assault. My intention is not to make any assumptions about your family, just throwing out the idea. I have no doubt you would know more about your sons life than I would.

Answer

using the bathroom right before bed and stopping liquids about an hour before bed. but it happens, some kids won’t grow out of it until they’re older. i suggest layering the sheets so it goes wet proof, regular, waterproof, regular, etc. so at night when there’s an accident you can just peel off the soiled sheets and there’s a new set underneath already.

Answer

It's much more common for boys than girls.
