Young & Healthy

This week on the Young & Healthy podcast, we’re talking about bedwetting. It’s more common than you think, and we know it is hard for kids and parents alike. Dr. Bob DeFoor, a pediatric urologist, joins us to shed some light on the causes of bedwetting and how to distinguish between typical nighttime accidents and an issue that needs attention. Listen in as we explore actionable strategies for parents, including steering clear of the 4 C's – caffeine, carbonated drinks, citrus, and chocolate – known to trigger nighttime accidents. We also talk about pros and cons of several treatment options, like moisture alarms and medications. Bedwetting is a medical condition, and our aim is to assist you in navigating and understanding it. Join us for an insightful conversation on this common yet often misunderstood aspect of childhood.
