How common is bedwetting?

Bedwetting is one of the most common childhood problems

Did you know that in a class of 30 children aged:

• 5 years - 5 wet the bed
• 7 years - 2 wet the bed
• 12 years - 1 wets the bed
• 15 years - 1 child in every 2 classes wets the bed

Bedwetting often runs in families

• If one parent had bedwetting as a child, there's a 40% chance that their child will also wet the bed
• If both parents had bedwetting as children, there's a 77% risk that their child will also wet the bed
