Cassie did something similar to this a while back. She doesn't drink much but also holds in her wee as long as she can, so sometimes just holds it in too long.

with the night time we tried to make sure she didn't  drink loads before bed, that she went for a wee after stories and before sleep, and we also lifted her when we went to bed to go for a wee so she would have less in her.

the bed wetting stopped after a short while, but I don't think there was any particular reason for it.

Well I tried limiting how much juice she had, waking her for a wee when we went to bed, and then she woke at 6 in floods of tears shouting she needed a wee and didn't make it to the loo - so another wet bed.

I've got a sample from her and I'll be taking it over to the doctors as soon as they open - hoping that chris will watch the kids briefly while i pop it over, and that they will not mind an unsolicited sample. I can't really take them in while jamie has the chicken pox as we'll infect half the waiting room.

I've tried talking to her and reassuring her that mummy loves her very much and that she doesn't need to worry about the new baby coming, but it hasn't helped. She doesn't say anything about being worried - just how excited she is about helping and whether she thinks it will be a boy or a girl etc... we shall see.

Ada stayed dry last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So for the first time in a week I don't have to wash her bedding!!

I've given her two stickers and hopefully that will act as an incentive to keep doing the same!

Urine sample yesterday was negative but they've sent it to the lab anyway to double check.

Still no idea what's been causing it, so i can't see this being the last time it happens, but i'm very grateful for one dry night!!

nope wet sheets again today

Hey Nikki,

Just wanted to check in and see how Ada is going with the whole bed wetting thing.

If she's all dry now, that's ace!  

However, if you're still having problems, we finally saw the paediatrician yesterday with Ella-Grace (2 weeks early, too!) and he gave us a couple of tips that I thought might be worth passing on.

Firstly, his diagnosis was vulvavaginitis - an inflammation of said areas and is apparently super common in young girls.  The cause of it is because little girls have very little oestrogen until they hit puberty, the membranes in that area are paper thin and therefore extremely easy to irritate.  And of course once it's irritated it's sore and itchy and so the little girl scratches, rubs or whatever which only exacerbates the problem.

The suggestions he made are very easy and certainly won't do any harm if it's not the issue, so they may be worth a try...

1. White vinegar baths.  Pour some vinegar into a relatively shallow bath and allow Ada to sit in it for 10-15 min.  Helps reduce the irritability of the area.

2. Use nappy cream on the area

3. If Ada has never been "wormed" then just do it as a precaution.  Dr Hart looked at Ella-Grace and said he didn't see any evidence of worms, but sometimes the worms can be sneaky and only showthemselves at night where they irritate the delicate areas, so it's an easy enough thing to do and again, it won't hurt her if thereare no worms.

4. Make sure her knickers are loose and easy to breathe.  I realise now that one of Ella's major issues with this is that she tends to pull her knickers up so high, she may as well be wearing a g-string!    I have recently bought her different, slightly larger knickers, so hopefully that will also help.

Think that's it.  Hopefully you don't need any of that advice, but if you do, hopefully something works.
