Potty training question

3 replies

My daughter is 3 and a half and has autism. I started potty training her on the 1st of January and with a lot of persistence and consistency she did her first wee in the potty on Saturday night just gone. Since then she's done a few more and she's doing so well. My question is what is a normal amount of times to go for a child her age? Since potty training began she was having maybe 2 accidents a day. Now she's actually going it's the same. 2 wee's a day. It dosnt seem a lot. I'm making sure she has plenty to drink and always has access to a drink, is this usual?

My 3 and a half year old can go 3 or 4h without weeing. She's got better bladder control than her dad! We did a 6.5h journey over Christmas and due to traffic we only ended up doing 1 stop.
She flat out refused to sit on the potty or toilet unless she needs a wee which can be frustrating if we are heading out in the car for a 30+minutes drive which is frustrating but what can you do!

She's had 2 accidents today and 1 potty success. So 3 In total and will probably go through the night in her nappy. So 4 in 24hours.. my daughter gets straight off the potty if she dosnt need to go

Are they a good colour light straw? It wouldn't hurt to have a chat with your HV or GP just to check all is ok
