25.01.2022 As promised Im sharing some of the great tools and resources I use to help with toilet training advice This video is great for helping kids to gain an understanding of the concept of sensation and how to listen to and understand body cues. It shows easy steps to follow during toileting such as hand washing. Its quite detailed but in an animated way which is perfect. Kids can watch it on the iPad whilst getting them to do toilet sits.

24.01.2022 School's back! There can be a lot to process at this time of year, but we've got the important toileting info you need. The National Continence Helpline 1800 33 00 66 gave their advice to Kidspot on how to help your child settle into school.

24.01.2022 https://www.facebook.com/squattypotty/videos/925884884149638/ This is so funny and rather weird but you get the point, position is important!! Why is this relevant to bedwetting you ask???? Constipation is a common cause of bedwetting. Sometimes sorting out constipation is all that is needed to treat bedwetting.

24.01.2022 Keeping up to date is crucial in providing a high level of evidenced based care. Ive been reading some updated resources to keep informed with current knowledge and clinical practice. Something that stood out was the effect of Bedwetting and day wetting on the child and family, the impact on emotional, psychological and social development and the feelings children experience such as shame, guilt, failure and a sense of difference. Some children experience bullying amongst p...eers and even in the home and will avoid social activities that others take for granted. Families also experience concern and frustration as well as financial burden and the time and effort put into washing and clean up can be overwhelming in busy lives. Parents experience pressure from other family members and peers as well. There can be conflict between parents in how to manage the situation. Bedwetting is common with 1 in 5 children at 5 years old and 1 in 10 children at 10 years old experiencing Bedwetting About 1 in 7 children will stop Bedwetting without treatment per year, some will continue to experience bedwetting as a teenager and into adulthood. The good news is that MOST children improve or become dry with treatment Some factors that play a role in bedwetting are constipation, excessive night time urine production, overactive bladder, family history, reduced bladder capacity, difficulty arousing from sleep, sleep apnoea, lack of signal that stops the bladder emptying while asleep and developmental issues or disability. A continence nurse can accurately assess a child and identify the cause of bedwetting and establish an appropriate management plan Reference: Caldwell P, Deshpande, A.

24.01.2022 Toilet training can be a daunting experience for some. The Continence Foundation have some really helpful fact sheets. I thought Id share some over the next few weeks starting with one about getting the toilet area right. Great points for kids with sensory issues.

17.01.2022 2016 was a busy year with many families seeking my help. 2017 is looking the same already and I cant believe its nearly March!! I feel privileged to be able to share my knowledge and guide children and their families towards a better understanding of the problem and what can be done to help. A good time to seek help is when your child is ready and is keen to work on the problem with support from their parents and professional guidance.

16.01.2022 Im excited to announce that I am now also seeing children with Bedwetting outside the Sutherland shire at Developmental Paediatrics in Bondi Junction. Its a great team to work with and Im privileged to be a part of the group. Its a relief not to have to turn people away due to travel constraints and I can help more children

15.01.2022 COVID-19 policy I want to share what I am doing in this current climate Rainbow kids Bedwetting has converted to Telehealth consultations. All appointments are over FaceTime or Zoom to optimise safety for all. Where necessary families may be instructed to see the GP for urine tests, scans or medication at an appropriate time. ... As a continence nurse I see children with: Nocturnal Enuresis (night wetting) Daywetting Encopresis (Soiling) Toilet Training Support Continence Assessments that support NDIS clients A positive that has come about from these changes is that I can broaden my scope of practice and see children from out of area. I am available Monday Tuesday Wednesday for Telehealth consultations I work at St George hospital Thursday and Friday Parents may wish to take advantage of the current downtime to address their childs bladder/bowel issues. Wishing everyone safety and calmness Hayley

14.01.2022 Its school camp season...... Heres some great tips

13.01.2022 Thats a wrap for the four day conference!!! It was long and exhausting but worth it. I missed my babies but apparently they had a great time with the fun parent!! I presented with my colleagues all day Wednesday which was well received. Then off for the nurses cruise on the harbor which was a nice treat. Today was Paediatric day which was what Id been waiting for, I picked up a few things and had a chance to network with amazing professionals who were very gracious with their time. Im looking forward to spending some time with the team at Westmead to continue my professional development. Thanks again to Independence Australia for funding me.

12.01.2022 Did you know that children who wet the bed are not being lazy or naughty They most often have not learnt the skill of waking to the feeling of a full bladder Some illnesses are linked with bedwetting but most children who wet dont have any major health problems... Dont wait to seek help, your child will thank you for it.

10.01.2022 Continuing on with my recent toilet training theme. Heres another great Continence Foundation fact sheet. Fluids and diet are important in maintaining healthy bladder and bowel function. Ensure these things are right before starting toilet training to improve the chances of success.

07.01.2022 Common Myths about Bedwetting MYTH: Bed wetting is caused by a psychological problem. FACT: There are several reasons children wet the bed but generally its due to an inability to wake to the sensation of a full bladder, its simply a skill they havent learnt yet. MYTH: Ignoring the problem will make it go away. FACT: Only 15% of bedwetting will spontaneously resolve without treatment and this reduces the older the child gets. ... MYTH: Lifting the child to the toilet during the night will train them to wake up. FACT: This is simply a management strategy rather than a long term solution MYTH: Children dont care about bed wetting FACT: Most children dont like wetting the bed and really want to become dry. MYTH: Children are not emotionally affected by bedwetting. FACT: Persistent bedwetting may have a negative impact on normal emotional and psychosocial development. It can cause strong feelings of shame, guilt and failure and a sense of being different to others. Often bedwetters will avoid social activities that most of us take for granted. Treatment for wetting can lead to an improvement in self esteem.
