Is it normal for children who are potty-trained to continue wetting their bed?

Even kids that are potty trained still wet their bed at night. A lot of children establish daytime dryness, but still wet their bed occasionally at night. This is very normal. If your child has been dry both during the day and at night for an extended period of time, over several months, and then they starts wetting during the day or at night, that would be a time where you would want to talk to your pediatrician to see if there are any other causes. However, in general, most kids sporadically are wet and dry throughout several years and this is normal. They may have a week here and there where they show some dryness, but they've never been fully dry for more than a specific three month period at a time.
