My youngest son is 2, he has been potty trained sense about 17 mo old. He does great, but through the night, we will get him up about 2 or 3 times, and he still pees the bed. He also wets the bed at night time. I have not checked into it or anything, but I am thinking that he must have an over active bladder. Does anyone know anything about this.

Hi Submissive,
Our #4 also had a difficult time with bed wetting. Many folks had all sorts of suggestions as to why and just as many remedies.
However, her pediatrician told me that sometimes a child's bladder does not grow as quickly as the rest of their body. Thus, they temporarily have a bladder that is too small for their size. A 10 or 11 hour sleep time is just too much for their little bladders to handle. We opted to have our #4 wear a pull-up to bed. First thing in the morning we'd take her potty, dispose of the wet pull-up and she'd then wear underwear without accidents the rest of the day. She finally began waking up with dry pull-ups when she was four, and after a couple weeks of being dry, she was able to wear underwear at night without accidents.
Our #4 is the only child we had with this problem. All the others did fine at night. This leads me to believe that our pediatrician was correct regarding a small bladder. In time, it caught up with the rest of her body.
