In this episode of the Young & Healthy podcast… 

Host Kate Setter sits down with Dr. Bob DeFoor, a pediatric urologist, to talk about bedwetting. Dr. DeFoor sheds some light on the causes of bedwetting and how to distinguish between typical nighttime accidents and an issue that needs attention. Together, they explore practical strategies for parents, including steering clear of the 4 C’s – caffeine, carbonated drinks, citrus, and chocolate – known to trigger nighttime accidents. They also talk about the pros and cons of several treatment options, like moisture alarms and medications. Tune in for an insightful conversation on this common yet often misunderstood aspect of childhood.
