How often does your toddler go to the toilet?

Obviously it depends on how much they drink but if at home with me all day, sometimes DS (3.3 months, potty trained but not at night) only goes 3x, if that...

Just wondering if I should get him to drink more since he doesn't always ask for it.

DD just seems to have phenomenal bladder control and I don't think she goes until bursting but then there are far more interesting things to do when you're 2.4.

I think she goes about 5x and she drinks plenty.

My ds is 3.7 and not dry at night yet but only wees 3 times in the day too. He can just always think of something better to do!

Ds is 3.2 and he goes about 5 times a day. Doesn't drink tons either, never has.

DD is 2.10. Depends on the day and how much she drinks but has the bladder control of a camel. Think it is quite normal.

DD demonstrated her exceptional bladder control by having a wee at 7pm then being dry all night and although she got me out of bed at 6.10am with "mummy I need a wee wee" she then point blank (throwing herself face down on the bathroom floor) refused to have a wee until 10am!

DD goes 3x a day (& is dry overnight).

I asked a paed friend & she said it sounded fine as long as her urine wasn't dark & smelly (fear of dehydration).

DD is 3.2 and goes about 4x a day at the most. She has stupendous bladder strength as well and often only goes if I prompt her. Many times she'll say she needs a wee wee, then decide she'll wait till we get home (if we're out, obviously!). Sometimes it can be a couple of hours between telling me she needs to go and getting round to it. She drinks plenty.

MY DS is obsessed with WC's, he goes too many times to count. If we are out and he sees a public loo he must go, can't work out if he just likes using the flush? He doesn't really need to go as it is just a tiny dribble. I don't know when to believe him and said he couldn't use the public (disgusting) loo while we were out and he ended up weeing himself (whoops). I felt real bad

my ds is 2.10 and goes 5x a day and is dry during the night, he drinks plenty and all is fine, think this is about the norm?

Ds2 (3.1), potty trained (but not dry at night yet) goes about 5 times a day.

Dd, 3.9, is dry at night and only goes 3x a day on average. She doesn't drink lots though however much I try to get her too. Quite a relief to see there are others like her, was a bit worried it was unusual.

Ooops- get her to
