My daughter was the same at that age. She still sometimes now at 6 1/2 needs to be reminded as she can go most of the day without a wee. I think she will just grow out of it.
I know how you feel but you haven't failed her. You will get through this x
The experience I've had with my daughter Bumble, includes what you have detailed above. I would definitely get her checked out through your local continence service, if you have one or a paediatrician. I try to only ask her if there's a need for her to go to toilet, if I can and will accept her answer. I always insist of i can tell she needs to or is already wet, as well as at the 2 hourly intervals she must not go over.
Hi, my daughter is also 4.5 ( 5 in October actually) and is the same. She's never been dry either.
We have seen Gp loads, health visitor, paediatrician and continence nurse and are no nearer to any answers! I hope your health professionals will be better than ours!
We have a wobl watch but even set at hourly reminders she can wet before the hour is up or otherwise not need a wee at the hour then we ten minutes later.
What are you planning to do when she's at school? I'm not sure how mine will cope at school. I think she will just be wet and sit in it until anyone notices. She starts in September!
Hi we have been having some good days just lately. I don't feel like I am getting any help from health visitor when it comes to school I am going to have a chat with her teacher and explain what's happening my lg was in the nursery at the school she is going so not too much of a big change for her. Maybe you need to speak to her teacher and explain what's happening so you can put a plan in place that you are all following am glad I am not alone xx
