Is a almost 3 year old too little to start training?

[newmommy2006yay]

I kinda need help with this sorry I have a new kiddo coming and I don't want to being changing 2 sets of diapers

Did they say definitely, she would always have to wear pads? X

She hads sensitive skin I fell pads won't help

Sorry I didn't understand question what year did doctors said unless if something to cure it in our lifetime shall probably always be in nappies

Are you absolutely certain about that? When I Google it looks like there are several different treatment options for an overactive bladder, including medication.

My autistic child was hard to potty train. Only really fully reliably by the time she was 4. I started at 2,5. I didn’t know she was autistic then. She has poor understanding of what’s happening in her body (still affects her now at age 9, eg will wait until she’s desperate to use the loo or won’t realise she’s too hot and take her jumper off until she’s roasting)

Check out the Eric organisation for more information on an over active bladder.

how did they diagnose it? It seems strange that they would so quickly, when she hasn't been potty trained yet\

They had us keep a bladder diary :) and from the pattern (peeing ever few minutes) and we did an ultrasound

I mean I'm all ears I'll bring it up with him maybe too young? I'm sorry i have been really emotional

Have a look here. It lists all the treatment options.

Thanks so much I will chat next time we're able to see him this truly means a lot

Has this diagnosis come from a paediatric urologist, or your GP? Has she had all the proper tests or has your GP just suggested this based on the symptoms? If it is overactive bladder there are treatments, she may be in nappies for a bit longer than other children, but not for life.

We are also testing for something with her bladder muscles that might be stopping the bladder from holding

So, your GP has referred you for tests? She’s not actually been assessed by urology yet?

Basically what's going to happen is she's been diagnosed when overactive bladder but we're coming back in a few weeks to do another few tests to see if we can find out the reason she can't hold at all she doesn't seem to notice she's going at all

I hope your little girl gets sorted out eventually. She may need nappies or pull-ups for a few years but as she gets older there may be treatment she can have.

DD had an overactive bladder. I cut out all scented soaps and products which were making it irritated and she improved dramatically. She was out of nappies by 2.5 but had the occasional accident until seven.

You should have started before now

scented soaps can make it worse?

My eldest was trained a fortnight after her 2nd birthday, youngest boy was 22 months.
The others between two and a half and three.
Each child is different.

So she’s been seen by a urologist, in a clinic in a hospital? Or is it the GP that’s diagnosed her?

nearly three is a little late not too early at all, good luck!

clinic in a hospital

From the wording you use and the fact on your other thread you said DD received OT every other day, I suspect you aren’t in the UK. Things must move much quicker where you are. In the UK, it would be very surprising to get a GP appointment, be referred to the hospital, have been seen by the hospital, have had tests and receive a diagnosis within the space of a few days.

In the UK, I doubt any urologist would say a 2y/o would never be continent because of an overactive bladder after only seeing them once either.

I when private, we have a good bit of money, and potty training has been happening for a few months so we got stuff quicker :)

Even privately in the UK, getting an appointment at a private hospital, being seen, having tests and receiving a diagnosis within the space of a few days would be considered very quick.

You say potty training has been happening for a few months, but by your own admission it has been consistently. You said you had a month on, month off mentality. And even if you had been consistently potty training it is still surprising any urologist would say a 2y/o would never be continent because of an overactive bladder after only seeing them once either.
