Q: Is it normal for my 6 yr old boy to urinate 600mls in the night thus getting up 2 and 3 times.

My child has never had a full nights sleep has been wetting the bed most nights until he got a buzzer alarm to waken him he is a deep sleeper. he would drink 1200mls- 1500mls a day of milk water or dilute orange. he never has an accident in the day time, but he would be up 2-3 times every night urinating about 200mls each time, thus he finds it hard to get back to sleep leaving him tired in the day time.  he does nt get fizzy drinks or chocolate as I was told these can irrate the bladder.
