My 3 year old daughter was dry during the day between October and January 2021 until our new baby was born and then she started having accidents. She will hold her wee as long as she can and then tell us she needs to go once she’s already dribbled a little bit or we’ll notice she needs to go because she’s bending physically trying to hold it in and then waddles to the toilet like a penguin. She never has full accidents - she just does a small dribble in her knickers and then finishes in the toilet.
We seemed to turn a corner with this about a month ago and she was waking up with a dry nappy in the morning too so decided to try taking the nappies away at night, which was great until about a week ago when she’s started either waking and shouting to go to the loo or wetting the bed. And it’s always at the same time just once during the night too?
Is this usual?
We’ve had her urine tested and there is no infection or sugar and more recently she had a finger prick to check for diabetes and that was normal too.
Shes otherwise well. She doesn’t drink a lot, I generally have to remind her to drink and she wees every two or three hours most days.
Should I go back to nappies at night?? Should I worry about her health?
Im a chronic worrier so I keep just thinking she’s diabetic and they’ve missed it. I have a hard time judging when I’m behaving like a normal parent or an overly anxious one.
Thank you in advance
