Bedwetting in 9-year-old girl
I hope someone has some helpful advice for us. Our daughter, who just turned 9, wets her bed every night. The doctors Ive spoken with are simply no help at all.Weve tried cutting down on fluids at night and waking her to go to the bathroom late at night, but nothing works. My husband thinks we need to take away the pull-ups and that shes wetting out of laziness. I disagree with him only because I see how deeply she sleeps. I dont think she knows when shes wetting.
She has no allergies that we know of. She is a bright child, very dramatic and outgoing. She has a strong, wiry build and is very limber and athletic. She just began wearing glasses this year.
I cant give you many details about her family history. We adopted her from a Russian orphanage when she was two-and-a-half. It took her a long time to get the hang of potty training and even wet her pants in the daytime for years. Today, she has occasional daytime accidents when she is playing outside and tries to hold it as long a possible to avoid interupting her play.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
This probably needs constitutional remedies based on a full picture.
But 2 remedies may be applicable here
1] Eqisetum
2] Thuja.
Nut one or the other not both together.
Use low potency 3x - 6x morn & evening for a week . If it hasnt worked then - it wont.

She is old enough to have a calm talk with. I am sure you have done so by now. Explain your love and commitment to her as a permanent part of your family. Does anyone in the extended family reject her however small??
Does she actually realize the stigma of this around her friends?
Sometimes this is a deep unconscious fear of rejection...you may "send her back." She may be doing this to push you so far, to prove your love for her, ie, negative attention.
Try the remedies that Passkey has suggested and we will see how she responds.
Anger and impatience will never work...never. One must appear to ignore the difficulty and get on with the daily living. I do suggest giving up the pull ups, unless this would be traumatic. One doesn't want to make it worse.
Get washable pads for her bed and she is old enough to change her own bed and put the bedding in the washer and turn it on. She will be responsible to make the bed each day after school.
Begin giving her cinnamon toast each morning as a treat. half and half in a shaker. For some reason it has helped some wetters. Do not tell her this plan. The subconscious will reject it.
Please keep posting.
