GPs in the UK

In the UK, the NICE (National Institute for Health & Care Excellence) guidelines suggest that from the age of 5 years old, is it possible to get support for bedwetting. Often GPs will initially refer you to information at Eric Charity in the UK -  see below.

Whilst it's possible to get help from the age of 5, this is not absolutely necessary and might be with trying to follow some of Erics advice first. Your child may also naturally become dry at night if practicing good healthy bladder strategies anyway but if this becomes a problem you may want to visit you GP or have a conversation with your School nurse who can offer support.
