Most boys achieve daytime bladder control by age 5, but bed-wetting can persist for some until between the ages of 5 and 7. After age 7, a smaller percentage of boys continue to experience bed-wetting.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Daytime Control: Most boys gain full daytime bladder control by age 5.
- Nighttime Control (Bed-wetting/Nocturnal Enuresis):
- Between ages 5 and 7, bed-wetting is not uncommon.
- After age 7, bed-wetting occurs in a smaller number of children.
It's important to remember that there's no specific "target date" for complete bladder control, and variations are normal. If bed-wetting persists beyond age 7, it's advisable to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
