How long is too long between wees?

Caitlin has been going really well with her toilet training - we've had no accidents for a weeks now YAY!

But - she seems to be holding on for too long now. She's going on average every 2.5-3 hours and sometimes longer.

Is this "normal"? Does it sound right to you guys?

I took her to the GP last night after she had a very unusal 3 hour afternoon nap, then peed like a horse, afterwards she pointed to her crotch "owies"
So I paniked and thought the worst "bladder/UTI infection"
But GP gave her the all clear but without a urine sample as she wouldn't pee at all at the GP office.

She doesn't seem unwell, except for when she wakes after her naps and is in a FOUL mood. She spent the best part of an hour this afternoon laying on the floor crying and wouldn't let me touch her

Aww that sucks Toni, she seemed pretty good today apart from the smokers cough! I hope everything is ok on the medical side of things like the doc says.

Sound normal. Jake goes for hours without going, and I used to worry, but if you think about it, you mightonly go 2 or three times a day yourself. Maybe she was saying owies cos it hurt having a full bladder and the relief was instant and she didn't know how to verbalise that?
Also, RE the waking, Jake is always foul and slow to warm up after an arvo nap. Never used to be, and soemdays he's fine, but more often than not I just leave him be for a bit and let him come out n his own, although Ido go down and check to make sure he hasn't gone back to sleep or isn't destroying anything, lol.

Michaela goes for long periods without wees in the afternoon (about 2.5 - 3 hours) but first thing in the morning she has a wee cluster where she'll go 3-4 times within one hour.  I think it's because it's still new to her so she gets quite excited and jumps up off the potty before she's ready then holds on until I've cleaned it and put it back for her.

When she does that, is her sleep nappy actually wet or do you think she holds on while asleep too? That could be it.. if you think about when you have to hold on and get over-full it hurts a bit when you finally go..... maybe?

I think either she is mis-associating the urge to go as "owies" but it's only a prompt to empty the bladder; or she is holding on (e.g. for fear of using toilet) and only going when she has no choice - my pick would be the first one.

Random, but Jake woke at 1.30am to go to the loo, and this morning wouldn't let me take off his night nappy( that had been dry when he went to the loo at 1.30) asked me to take it off around 9am this morna nd it was still dry! thats a LONG time to be dry, I was expecting a full wet nappie.

Yeah we've had a lot of those accidents lately too. It makes me cross because she wasted all that time prancing around with her legs crossed and telling me that she didn't need to go!

I don't give 'em a choice when I see the dance.

"Oh, you're doing the toilet dance - go to the toilet please!!"

I'll say! Maya fought my mum tooth and nail over going to the toilet before bed when she was here last week, and she was so damn smug when she woke up in the morning - "see Neema, I DIDN'T wet the bed!"
