My daughter is 30 months and fully potty trained. She only wees twice in 24 hours, she sometimes doesn't go for 19 hours. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and otherwise healthy. Does anyone have the same issue. I would really like some advise. Thanks

There is no set number of times per 24 hours to wee, it will be very individual. Some children, and adults, will go a number of times, others fairly seldom throughout the day. Both can be perfectly normal. More telling can be what the urine looks like.

What colour is her wee? Does it have an odd or strong odor? Darker yellow urine can be a sign of being a bit dehydrated. How much does she drink throughout the day? Is this fairly recent or has she always urinated infrequently?

Is she more active lately? Some children will hold it, and not go as often, simply because they are too busy. Maybe try taking regular potty breaks a few time during the day. Take her in with you and see if she will go at those times.

When in doubt, have her doctor check into it. It will give you the peace of mind.

Is she getting enough liquids? What you describe sounds like she may be dehydrating. Of course, if this continues to be an issue, take her to the pediatrician.
Good luck, and God Bless.
