See at this age incontinence of bladder is common. Since he is quite aged. I advice you to put a condom catheter for your father and connect it to a urine collecting bag. Just be careful that elastic of condom catheter should not be so tight. You can ask a doctor for home visit. He will apply the catheter as well as can prescribe medications. Thanks.

In some cases, this may be delayed. This does not in any way mean that the child wets the bed deliberately. It is just that he or she is unable to...more

Yes its absolutely normal. Good urine output is a sign of adequate feeding and googd growth. Babies loose weight initailly after birth and then later start gaining it. As long as your baby is active, growing properly (reaching milestones on time). Nothing to worry. Normally babie wet 8-10 cotton nappies or 6-8 diapers in case if your are using diapers.

Is bedwetting a regular feature in your child? Has this been continuing for a long time and is making you concerned? Nocturnal enuresis is the condition in which a child passes urine when he sleeps at night, unknowingly. It is referred to as bedwetting or nightwetting in Ayurveda. Shayyamutra is the Ayurvedic name of this condition in which shayya refers to sleeping, and mutra means urine.
