two year old waterwork worries!
hi guys! 🙂
i've got a daughter of 2 (before anyone says i'm in the wrong place, i couldnt find a category specific to my query, so you'll have to make do with me here! :P)
Anyway, its probably nothing to worry about but recently she's been drinking LOADS. Water and very diluted squash mainly, but always seems to be thirsty. its been going on for a few weeks now. I havent noticed any major change in her toilet habits (as she's out of nappies but is going to the toilet every 20 mins, which is a little out of the ordinary) and doesnt appear ill.. As she's my first child, im not sure if its a phase all toddlers go through, or if i should watch her a little more closely. I hate to sound like an overbearing parent who worries too much but i havent managed to find an answer on the internet anywhere.
Any advice would be a massive help!
Thanks in advance 😀
I would get her checked out by your GP. Take a record of how much she is drinking and how often she is going to the toilet with you.
I have three children. My eldest drinks very little and in the summertime I often have to remind her, "Make sure you drink enough". However my two boys drink loads, to the point where I have sometimes thought they surely can't need that much. It goes without saying that the more a child drinks the more frequently they will need the toilet; and as your little one is out of nappies maybe she is just being very careful not to wet herself. If you are worried talk to a doctor, but concider if you have any other physical concerns or not about her.
