Dr Ranj is championing Ninjama’s mission to support children who experience bedwetting and has now spoken exclusively to the Mirror to explain why children wet the bed, when parents should seek medical advice and ways parents can support their children.
TV GP Dr Ranj Singh shares how we can support our kids when it comes to bedwetting Around half a million children across the UK wet the bed, and a survey has found that this can have a detrimental impact on their confidence at school.
A survey conducted by One Poll in January 2025, with 1,000 UK parents with children aged 4-7, found that 63% of parents say their child is less likely to feel confident at school if they wet the bed the night before.
Some of the key things they found were that eight in ten parents, so 80% of parents and carers of children aged four to seven, say that bed wetting has impacted their kids' time at school, so that's a big deal.
"If you do want to use a product to help in the meantime, and we do recommend these in clinical practice as well, particularly for things like sleepovers or when your child or young person is away from home, something like pyjama pants could be a good option.
