Anyone with any experience of an 'Immature bladder?

[totaleclipse]

DS is almost 6, and after 3 years of failed toilet training, his paediatrcian is sure he has an immature bladder, she has given me a prescription for oxybutinin, but when I seach for immature bladder on the net, I only get bed wetting come up, anyone any experience of day wetting?

BTW

His paediatrician is organising an ultrasound, so I should recieve that soon.

Goodnight and thanks forall the info, it has been very helpful

Totaleclipse I read a tip somewhere that when a child was unaware that they've had an accident of just needed reminding to go to the toilet the teacher could tap their desk as they walked past to remind them to go. Could be helpful.

Saw specialist yesterday. She seemed quite sympathetic when I explained I'd decided not to give DS the oxybutinin he'd been prescribed. Said they tell people to stop taking it once they start with headaches and constipation!

DS doing fantastically re having 8 drinks a day. One thing the specialist said was apart from stretching the bladder, having additional drinks means that if there is an 'accident' the urine is diluted so less of a smell - obvious I know but I hadn't thought about that aspect.

Hope things are improving and you've managed to look at the ERIC website. Think it's on there when they suggest vibrating watches to remind child to go to the toilet. Seems like a good idea but v. expensive.

I dont think his tablets are heling much, some days are better, but most days there seems to be no change, Monday he had 6 accidents at school, his teacher was concerned and told me that he had 2 full accidents within 20 minutes, and while he was changing after the second time she heard him use the toilet and he weed for an incredible 30 seconds (she was outside listening) this was in the morning, he had only had one drink so where is it all coming from, then he went on to have another 4 accidents
