Bedwetting is incredibly common—but it’s also often misunderstood, leaving families feeling frustrated, confused, or even ashamed. In this episode, pediatric urologist Dr. Andrew Kirsch joins Dr. Jessica Hochman to demystify nighttime wetting and offer real, evidence-based guidance for parents.

They explore:

  • Why bedwetting happens (hint: it’s not your child’s fault)
  • When to worry and when to wait
  • The truth about bedwetting alarms and medications
  • A promising new non-drug device called Soluu that could reshape how we treat bedwetting

Whether you're in the thick of it with your child or just want to be prepared, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and plenty of practical tips.
