I really don't know what to do any more. My 5 year old daughter has had 5 UTI's in 1 year. Each time, her urine culture comes back positive for e-coli. I've retaught her how to wipe. I've had her on a potty schedule, but it doesn't help. I've stopped all liquid, but water and milk. I'm frustrated and lost. I don't know what to do. I'm tired of cleaning pee soaked clothes and bedding as well has shampooing the carpet constantly. Anyone ever go through this? I want to say she can't help it, but I'm not sure.

Finally got my daughter into a urologist for next Tuesday. It's going to be a long 2.5 hour drive one way and long day, but it will be worth it if we get the answers we need. 😊
She definitely needs to see a urologist, they should do more testing to rule out other issues
@wvmommy, yes there’s medication. My bladder doesn’t fully empty so I’m constantly going and getting utis. I need to get a ballon and camera put up there to see what exactly is happening. She needs to see a urologist
My oldest daughter has continued UTI and come to find out it was because of constipation. My youngest kept getting them and she had labial fusion which is super common so maybe have them check for signs of that. The urologist said they see it a lot in kids from ages 2-8 reoccurring because of how they wipe etc.
@wvmommy I'm sorry girl. All I know is it's a horrible feeling. I'll be praying for your little girl. Get her in to see that specialist.
I was in and out of the hospital when I was a kid because I would constantly get terrible UTIs. They finally determined that I had kidney reflux and fixed it with surgery. As I've gotten older I've only had a handful of them and it was when I became sexually active...
Also it was weird but some type of pool like chlorine gave me very bad reaction down there as a kid. Just a thought. Idk if they sell baquasil or however you spell it anymore. But just an idea
@wvmommy, honestly I’d get her an appointment anyways. And if u need a referral push for one. It could make a huge difference
@wvmommy I would take her to see a specialist. They would be able to help more than a regular pediatrician. And no more bubble baths, cotton panties only, don't let her sit in a wet bathing suit and have her drink tons of water.
@ohsillyme529 She only takes a shower now. Wow, that sounds horrible. I really hope she doesn't go down the same path. 😕
@wvmommy, oh and also there are some soaps and washes that kids use that actually make things worse. So make sure you look at what kinds of body washes she’s using or soaps!
Does she take a bath or shower? I got a TON of them from 1st grade through high school. They did testing and all kinds of crap to me. They were so painful I would have to leave school and go home and chug water and just cry. I didn't stop getting them until I was 18 and got pregnant with my first son. I know that's not helpful. However, I notice I get them more if I take a bath
@ambers14 What can they do for that for a 5 year old? Do they have medication for something like that? I do wonder if something else is going on.
@day1401 I may have to add yogurt back to be diet. Thank you.
@jenx I stopped bubble baths a while back. 😔
You mommas are on it! In the time it took me to comment you all already covered all my points. :)
@danaalane26 She was difficult to potty train, but still had accidents from time to time. When I thought we were past it, she started having accidents again.
I would probably take her to see a urologist. She may have a colonized infection or may have something going on structurally making her prone to them. Does she use bubble bath? Those gave my sister bad uti's when we were kids, she is just very prone to them also.
@peppa. I never thought about her sleeping without panties under her night gown. It's worth a shot. I started her in a cup of cranberry juice a day. She wears only cotton panties, not scented body washes and no bubble baths. I'm running out of ideas. I'll definitely give the no panties a try.
@kbbaybee16 Her pediatrician said that's the next step after another UTI.
My 7 yo has a uti. I have an overactive bladder and am prone to uti. Maybe she has the same issue?
I’ve never dealt with it before in an older child but maybe give her some cranberry juice more often and yogurts! Yogurt is super helpful!
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
Ok I'm 15 And Pregnant And I Don't Know What To Do. I'm Just A Freshman In High School.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I NEED HELP !
My 5yr old has lice and I don't know what to do, any advice?!? it's my first time dealing with lice I feel so lost 😭😭😭😭
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
@wvmommy I'm sorry girl. All I know is it's a horrible feeling. I'll be praying for your little girl. Get her in to see that specialist.
