Some children stop bedwetting when they start using the toilet during the day; for others, it takes a little longer, sometimes years longer. Bedwetting is when a child aged 3 or older wets the bed once or multiple times per week over a longer period of time. Most children no longer have accidents at night by the age of five. However, there are many children who do not yet have control over their bladder at this age.

Methods to eliminate bedwetting in a 3-year-old child
There are several methods you can try when a child this age wets the bed:
Recording
You wake your child every night to go to the toilet. This applies to children up to 6 years old.
The calendar method
Every time your child has a dry night, they can draw a sun or stick a sticker on the calendar for that day. This applies to children up to 8 years old.
Motivation method
Initially, your child receives a small reward every time they try not to wet the bed. Later, your child only receives a reward if the bed has actually remained dry. This applies to children up to 12 years old.
