Bed Wetting?

My 13 year old daughter is repetedly wetting the bed, i am not sure if its cuased by urination because when she wakes up she is not wet herself but the bed is. Could this be because of perspiration and sweat? she has assured me on a number of occastions that she has not wet herself. This has never happened before in the past and has only started this year when we moved into our new house. She is now sleeping on a fold-out bed that we use when we go camping, this is better ventilation but the same thing is still occuring. When i wash her blankets they do not have a distinct smell, it is just a damp smell. i don’t know what is wrong, wether the reason for this bed wetting is caused by urination or sweat and perspiration, what should i do?

The obvious would be that she is stressed over the move to the new house and has started to wet the bed. Maybe she is having problems at school and is very nervous over it. What you could do is get her some pull ups, or incontinece underwear for her to wear. They have sizes, for children and women. You will be able to find a size for her. If her special underwear is wet and the rest of the bed is dry then it is likely she is wetting herself.

The article below is about night sweats.
