Nocturnal enuresis – Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_enuresis
Nocturnal enuresis, also called bedwetting, is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually occurs.[1] Bedwetting in children and adults can result in emotional stress.[2] Bedwetting is the most common childhood urological complaint,[3] and one of the most common pediatric-health issues.[4][5] Most bedwetting, however, is a developmental delay—not an emotional problem or physical illness. The majority of bedwetting is simply maturational and will stop on its own.

Bedwetting: helping children – Bladder & Bowel UK
https://www.bladderandbowel.org/children/bedwetting/
About 1 in 6 children aged 5 wet the bed regularly. By 7 years, it is about 1 in 10. Bedwetting reduces to about 1-2 in 100 by the time children are teenagers. Most children stop bedwetting naturally, with about 15% achieving dryness each year on their own. These are significant numbers.

Offer an enuresis alarm as first‑line treatment for children aged 5 years and over with bedwetting.Consider desmopressin as an alternative for children aged 5 years and over with bedwetting: if an alarm is not acceptable or is not appropriate for the family. If an alarm and desmopressin are both appropriate, offer whichever the child and their family prefer. If an alarm alone doesn’t work after 4 weeks, consider adding desmopressin.For short-term use (for example, for holidays or school trips), desmopressin may be more appropriate than an alarm.
