    DS can go to bed at 7pm, wake at 7am and not pee til after 9am! During the day is much the same, but if I ask him to wee, he will. Rarely tells me he needs to go.
    Both my DD's are the complete opposite to him and have a fascination for the loo (jokes.. But no problems going)!

    Yes, my daughter is the same! She can do her last wee at say, 5pm, then not wee again before bedtime - and still wakes up the next morning with a dry nappy - AND then not wee until 2 hours after that!! This morning was the longest - 3 hours after waking up...

    So you guys don't think it's a problem?? I really don't want it to be a problem, but I wasn't sure if she needed to see a doctor.
    When she has a lot to drink in one go - like 200mls+ at once, then she does go more often.

    Unless she's showing signs of pain, I'd not be concerned. I'd be more worried about her low fluid intake. I purchased cups with straws stuck to the side as a novelty to get all my kids drinking more, it worked!

    You could always speak to your GP or health nurse and see what they say?

    eta: DS is 4, TT since a few months before 3... No nappies day or night

    Thanks - maybe if I call my GP now, they can get me an appointment next month My child health nurse has given me wrong advice before so unfortunately I don't trust her expertise.
    Yeah, I've tried every trick in the book to get her drinking more... straws, different kinds of cups, novelty cups etc etc etc. I can start my own cup company lol
