there is really nothing wrong with her wetting the bed because there are some children that will wet there bed until the age of six or seven and there is nothing wrong with it. but it also can be that the child is probably stressing with something has there been a change in her living enviroment. do you get after her alot because sometimes when you are constantly getting after her that also can be a reaction to that or she wants attention. next time you go to the pedetrician's office look around the room sometimes you will find flyers about bed wetting and if you dont see any ask the doctor im sure he has some.

First I think attitude and kids that age go hand and hand but they usually grow out of it. Then I would see if your daughter had a urinary tract infection or some other illness. Sometimes when children are sick they have trouble at night. Also with my 4 older girls they went through a period after they were potty trained where they reverted to wtting the bed at nightfor a short time. I found that if I didn't make a big deal of it and praised them when they didn't have accidents that it was usually short lived. I do know my brother had a hereditary problem and wet the bed into his teens. I know that may not help you but it might give you some starting points to consider.

Well as far as the attitude thing goes. Keep in mind she is two and a half and they do go through some what of an attitude stage. That's why they call them the terrible twos. Now with the bed wetting thing I can't not answer for you but my best advice is to seek help from her pediatrician they'll know the best route to fix the problem.

The atitude and behavior sounds like a regular two to me! :) As for the bed wetting...look at what's going on in her life. has there been any changes big or small? I have one son that would start to wet the bed if there was a change in his bedtime. A really good trick to break the cycle is to wake her up about an hour into her night sleep and get her to go to the bathroom with you. She may or may not go but the point of it is to break up that super deep sleep so when, and if she has an urge to pee later she can wake herself up. This has always worked for us since everyone in the family tends to be deep sleepers. Hope it works for you too. OH- I've never had any trouble getting them to fall back asleep after I wake them in case that worries you. They are so groggy an hour into night sleep they can barely get up to go with me to the restroom- seeing them like that always makes it easier for me to understand why they can't wake up to go potty. :)
