My child stays dry during the day but still wets at night. How old should they be before this stops being normal?

Nighttime bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) can continue for a while even after your child stays dry during the day — this is developmentally expected.
According to widely accepted pediatric guidelines, nighttime wetting until around age 5-6 is considered within normal range. By this age, some children may not have fully developed nighttime bladder control yet. This process typically completes a bit earlier in girls than in boys.
After age 6, if bedwetting happens more than twice a month, consulting a pediatrician or pediatric urologist is recommended. At this point, genetic factors, deep sleep patterns, constipation, or rarely an underlying condition could be involved. But before age 5-6, patience and support are priorities, not intervention.
