Potty Training - Phoenix,AZ

hello, i think you are right. if she is having to go that often she good have kidney or bladder problems. She needs to go see a doctor. I had a bladder problem as a little girl and it was terrible, my parents just thought i was playing or that i was too lazy to potty train but it turned out i had a small hole in my baldder and once it was repaired i did great. i was fully potty trained in two weeks. Just keep encouraging her and tell her mom she needs to be checked out.

Joceyln,

Urinating in copius amounts seems suspicious. I am Diabetic, and that is one of the symptoms. She should have a check up by her doctor for sure.

If she's got a lot of stool, that is a sign she is being over-fed, possibly. I remember Richard Simmons once writing a book that stated that a person who is over-eating will have up to three movements a day and that is not healthy. You have two to three a week, if your diet is correct.

Good luck explaining this to her Mother.

Hugs, Kat

Perhaps she has an urinary tract infection?? My daughter did when she was 4 when she started going to the bathroom and producing very little each time.

Seems like she is doing very well!

One thing that can cause peeing so often is a urinary tract infection, it can be the only symptom. Also this can be a sign of diabetes. I would suggest that her mom take her to the dr just to get it checked out. She might just want to make sure there is no other reason for the delay in being potty trained.

i am training my grandson ,he is two and i put him on the potty
every hour and he goes ,prob with him he is afraid to go poo on potty ,anyway i am gramother and raised three children on my own ,and back then i herd something about if they go a lot like that it could be due to medical prob.with sugar but i am not sure ,i think the best thing is to tell her parents and they should contact the doctor and ask about it ,never ever think asking is a bad thing caz no question is a stupid one
when it comes to kids .i am glad that you have noticed this caz it does not sound right to me eather.good luck and hope it can be figured out .

J.,

Has your friend ever had her tested for Diabetes? Going to the bathroom often is a common symptom of Diabetes according to my Pediatrician. We have Diabetes in our family so my husband was asking the doc about it at his 3 year old well visit. It is definately something that I would look in to. Good luck!
