Dry Nights · Education

Bedwetting is a medical condition, not a character flaw. Your child isn't doing this on purpose. Here's the science behind what's happening and the gentle, drug-free routine that supports their body through it.

Why Kids Wet the Bed

Most parents assume bedwetting is about laziness, deep sleep, or emotional issues. The reality is more specific — and more treatable.

• Underdeveloped Bladder-Brain Signals. The signal from the bladder to the brain saying "wake up, I need to go" isn't strong enough yet. This is developmental, not behavioral — time plus the right support is what moves the needle.
• Deep Sleep. Kids who sleep very deeply are harder to rouse by any signal — including a full bladder. This isn't a flaw; it's just how they're wired. A consistent bedtime routine helps the body learn.
• Small Functional Bladder Capacity. Some kids' bladders simply hold less urine at night. Pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto are traditionally used to support bladder tone and capacity gently, over time.
• Excess Nighttime Urine Production. Some children produce more urine at night than their bladder can hold. Smart fluid timing (covered below) makes a meaningful difference.

How to Take Numi Dry Nights

Numi Dry Nights gummies contain pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto — traditionally used to support healthy bladder function in children. Dosing is age-based.

Age	Dose	When
4–6 years	1 gummy	30 minutes before bed
7–10 years	1–2 gummies	30 minutes before bed
11+ years	2 gummies	30 minutes before bed

What to Expect Week by Week

• Week 1–2: Getting started. The ingredients are building up in the system. You may not see dramatic changes yet — this is normal.
• Week 3: Most families begin to notice fewer accidents or lighter wetting episodes.
• Week 4: Meaningful improvement for most children. Some will be fully dry by now. Others need 6–8 weeks. Every child is different.
• Week 5–8: Continue until your child has 14+ consecutive dry nights. Then maintain with 1 gummy nightly for another 30 days.

The Bedtime Routine That Works

Consistency is everything. Run this routine every single night — even on weekends. The body learns through repetition.

• 7:00 PM — Last fluid intake. Small sips only after this point.
• 7:30 PM — Bathroom trip #1. Fully empty bladder.
• 8:00 PM — Give Numi Dry Nights with a very small sip of water.
• 8:15 PM — Wind-down begins. No screens.
• 8:30 PM — Bathroom trip #2 (final).
• 8:45 PM — Lights out.

Smart Fluid Timing

The goal is not to restrict fluids overall — dehydrated kids actually produce more concentrated urine, which irritates the bladder. The goal is smart timing.

Time of Day	Fluid Guideline
Morning	Drink freely. Hydrate well.
Afternoon	Continue drinking. Aim for 50% of daily intake before 3 PM.
After 5 PM	Begin tapering. Avoid juice, milk, and sodas.
After 7 PM	Small sips only. No full glasses of anything.

Avoid These After 5 PM

• Citrus juice — acidic bladder irritant.
• Milk — higher volume, slower to process.
• Soda & sparkling water — caffeine and carbonation both irritate the bladder.
• Chocolate — contains caffeine, even hot cocoa.

When to Talk to a Pediatrician

We recommend consulting your pediatrician if:

• Your child is over 7 and wetting the bed nightly
• Bedwetting begins suddenly after a long dry period
• Your child experiences daytime accidents as well

Numi Dry Nights is a supplement, not a medical treatment. Always loop in your child's pediatrician for anything that concerns you.
