BED-WETTING 30
This habit in children should disappear during the first or second year. When persistent, omit fluids
after, say 4:00 p.m., but give plenty during the day.
Watch approximately the time wetting takes place,
wake up the child on following nights about 10 to
20 minutes before that time, and continue practice
until child functions voluntarily. Cooked spinach and
rhubarb are probably the best foods to prolong bedwetting
as the inorganic oxalic acid crystals may
irritate the kidneys and these become overactive.
