A baby's physical development is not perfect and their self-control ability is relatively low, so they often experience urination. However, generally speaking, after the age of three, babies have basic control over their bodies and usually do not experience frequent urination. So, how many times is it normal for a 3-year-old baby to urinate at night?
It is normal for babies around three years old to urinate 2-4 times at night, which is closely related to their daily water intake. If a baby drinks too much water before bedtime, it may lead to frequent urination. If a baby urinates frequently at night and has a low urine volume, it is likely that they have a urinary tract infection and need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
Some babies frequently urinate, which may be caused by internal heat or bacterial infection. If accompanied by urgency, pain, or burning sensation in the urethra, it may indicate a disease in the urinary system and require oral medication under the guidance of a doctor. When a baby experiences urgency and pain in urination, parents should help the baby relax, distract their attention, and provide more comfort.
Parents should help their babies develop the habit of urinating on time. When they see their baby's intention to urinate, they should take them to the toilet and tell them not to hold their urine. Gradually, the baby will get used to it. When the baby successfully goes to the bathroom, the mother should praise the baby in a timely manner. Even if the baby does not urinate, the mother should not scold the baby, otherwise it will make the baby more resistant to going to the bathroom.
