hi
thanks for posting on hcm
i can understand your concerns there are many reasons for bed wetting.
if initially she was dry before and starting bedwetting recently then it could be because of urinary infection, if this is the case i would suggest you to consult a doctor and get the urine analysis done.
if she was never dry before and is this happening from the beginning or her urine analysis is negative then i would suggest you to do the following
1.stop yelling at her and try to be compassionate with her, try find out if any stressors, don't complain about her
2.make a habit for her to empty bladder and avoid giving any drinks before bed time.
3.few alarms are available in the pharmacies try using them,
4 encourage on the days she is dry with a star chart, try these for 3 to 4 weeks, if it still continues after 4 weeks i would advise you to got to doctor for detailed work up, they may give you desmopressin nasal sprays which help .
5.talk to her mother and perusade them to take doctors help if not talk to her father
hope this is helpful to you,
regards
