Night time potty
Hi there,I have an 8 year old boy who is waking at night to use the bathroom.
Up until now he has had his own room with his own bathroom, so although on occasion we heard him get up to use the bathroom, we didn't notice that it is EVERY night.
We moved a few months ago and are now noticing that every night around 2am he is getting up to pee.
Sometimes, if he is really tired he doesn't manage to make it to the bathroom and is wetting his bed or pees a little in his underwear before getting to the toilet.
This is not a case of 'too much water before bed' as my doctor said it was, nor can I be convinced that it is perfectly healthy for a small boy to have to urinate during the night, every night.
If anyone has some insight on this, please let me know your suggestions.
This is really getting him down on himself, and it's breaking my heart as a mom to have him be upset about something like this.
Some background on him.
He is what you would call an old soul, he is very knowledgeable, often times, we don't know where he gets his knowledge from. He is very emotional and hard on himself. He plays hockey almost every day, and is very good and competitive. He REALLY cares about other people. We cannot pass someone on the street that looks as though something is wrong without him wondering if there is something he can do to help. His heart is HUGE and he can be hurt really easily. He cries very easily.. from happiness and sadness. And is generally a people pleaser.
I know that this is a lot of information, but I also know that bladder issues are very often connected to the emotions, so that is why I went into so much detail.
Thank you in advance for helping my boy :)

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Actually, it might not even be enough information :)
Homoeopaths love details, and our remedy pictures usually only form when we have a certain amount of information.
I am happy to make some suggestions if you like, but I need to work with as complete a case as possible. Would you mind trying to answer the following questions?
