Bed-wetting is no one's fault.

While doctors believe there may be a number of reasons why a child wets the bed, there is one thing about which they agree: It's not your child's fault. That's why it's important not to punish or humiliate your child after an "accident." However, you may want to teach your child to take responsibility for remaking the bed and changing into dry pajamas. Some possible reasons for bed-wetting

• Heredity. Bed-wetting has been found to run in families, so if both parents have a history of bed-wetting, their children will have a 77 percent chance of wetting the bed. Even if only one parent wet the bed, a child still has a 44 percent chance of wetting the bed.
• Hormones. Studies suggest some children who wet the bed don't produce enough of a hormone at night. This is called antidiuretic hormone and it helps concentrate urine so that the bladder doesn't overfill.

Before beginning any treatment, your healthcare professional will complete a medical history and physical examination to rule out specific medical problems as the cause of your child's bed-wetting. Whatever the specific cause for bed-wetting might be, it is not usually caused by serious medical problems

There is help for bed-wetting.

Simple changes in your child's routine or behavior may help your child sleep drier. In addition, there are treatments available. The most common options your doctor may recommend are listed here.

• Dietary Habits: If your child has a history of allergies, a change in diet may be beneficial. In addition, consider limiting beverages after dinner and remind your child to go to the bathroom before bed.
• Conditioning Therapy: Bed-wetting alarm devices attach to pajamas and are activated by moisture. Such products teach a child to wake upon sensing a full bladder. These, too, may provide help.
• Medications: One medication commonly used to treat bed-wetting is DDAVP^® (desmopressin acetate). Available as a nasal spray since 1989, it is available in easy-to-take tablets. Imipramine, in tablet form, is another pharmacologic treatment option. Be sure to follow the advice of your doctor or healthcare professional when using any medication.
