Content: Young children may know not to wet their underwear. But that’s not the same as having the discipline to take themselves to the bathroom. If your child is only urinating two or three times per day, that’s not enough. Holding urine too long can cause urinary tract infections, especially in girls. Kids should urinate five or six times per day, she says — about every two to three hours. Chronic holders may also have more issues with daytime wetting (enuresis). About 15% of 5-year-olds struggle with it, says Cesa. Most often, daytime wetting is a behavioral problem caused by bad toileting habits — and potentially brought on by early potty training. Children who hold urine often hold stool as well, causing constipation. Constipation can cause bladder issues and inhibit potty training as well.
