Most of the school-aged children regularly wet the bed, but some simple changes in what they eat and drink can help solve the problem, experts say.
Dr Kirk Pinto, paediatric urologist at Baylor All Saints Medical Centre in Fort Worth, Texas, said that the three Cs - caffeine, carbonation, and citrus - should be avoided by children who are having trouble with bedwetting. While there are medications to treat bedwetting, simple diet changes can help the majority of children.
"For bladder problems, anything that is an irritant is bad. Caffeine is number one, and it's the most common thing that these kids get from all the soda they drink," Pinto said in a web report.
