Is It Normal To Wet The Bed After Daytime Potty Training Is Complete?

YES.  Absolutely.  Bedwetting after potty training is a common issue that many parents deal with.  Your child is completely potty trained during waking hours, but then he or she goes to bed, and seems to have no control over their bladder.  Often times children’s bodies actually grow faster than their bladder’s do.  Leaving the bladder unable to hold the amount of urine produced while sleeping until morning.  The best you can do is make yourselves as comfortable as possible and wait it out.  Provide your child with pull up type training pants to keep the bed sheets dry, put a mattress protector over your mattress for when there are accidents, and be patient.  A child who feels secure and loved will get through this tough stage faster than a child who is insecure.
