How long do they hold on?

We're day two of the three day potty training and my DD has the most incredible control. Yesterday her nappy came off at 8.30am and she didn't go to the toilet, despite a lot of drinks, until 6.30pm last night. She wet the bed at around 2am and then nothing until she had a wee accident at 1.30ish today. Huge amount of holding on for a little girl.

She's sound asleep atm, but no doubt recouping her batteries to fight me later (she will try everything to not wee in anything but her nappy). We're going gently with her and sticking by the guide.

How long can/does your LO hold on for? DD's willpower is freaking me out!

my DD sometimes sneaks outside and goes on the lawn :redface: is that a possiblitly?

but Im also surprised at how good her bladder is too

I wish it was possible that she's sneaking off, but I've been by her side 24/7 since nappies have been off. Slept in her room last night and she's right beside me now.

boof has a bladder of steel!!
went to the loo 7.30 pm last night and next time was 9.00am next day when i insisted as we had to go out!!
he often holds on all day as well
HTH

I am also amazed at how long my DS1 can hold on. I tell people he has the bladder of the United States. He can go from 6-7pm through to 11am. I now make him go to the toilet as soon as he takes his PJ's off. I have know idea how he can't be busting to go when he wakes up.

It's pretty intense! Today was a shorter time between a wee accident and a wee on the potty but it was still 5 1/2 hours!!! Yesterday I think I went 10 times to her one lol!

DD1's control is too good for her own health. She can do a wee at about 6.30 pm at night, go to bed, sleep the entire night and then get up the next morning to have breakfast and still last until about 10.30 am before she goes to do a wee. She definitely doesn't sneak out to do one anywhere else and she drinks a ton of water - just has incredible control. As a result though when she is being stubborn about going to the toilet often enough (as in before she goes to bed at 7.30 pm and immediately she gets up in the morning) she can get a bit sore, and has had one UTI.

My DS has held on for hours too!!! I was a bit worried for the poor kid coz i thought it was dangerous!!! I remember one day he had gone all night and most of the day, I kept asking if he needed a wee and he just didnt!! Then finally that afternoon he piped up with Mummy I need a wee and did the biggest wee!!!!! Now he is more relaxed and confident in his TT i just trust that when he has to go he will go!!

:O wow, that is some serious bladder holding!

I thought it was a question about going out to the shops etc.... I had no idea some of them could hold on that long!

Yes my dd regularly does 13 or 14 hours, and has been known to go longer.

Some kids are just like that it seems. As long as the wee isn't dark it's ok.

Good luck with the toilet training. At least you know she's more than ready if she can control it so well.

I'm having the same thing here with DS! We've been accidentally TT really. Last Thursday he had an infection on his poor little penis. Swollen and red and so painful for him to wee he was near hysterical. He wouldn't let us put a nappy on him while it was sore and started asking to go to the toilet or use his potty. By Friday the swelling had gone but it was still a bit sore to wee so he would panic when he had o go. Saturday it wasn't painful any more, he was still hesitant and holding it until the last second, but when he was weeing he would smile and say "all better not hurting any more"
So rather than go back to nappies we've just kept on with TT.
He can go all night and then a couple of hours in he morning. He'll ask heaps of times then sit and do nothing. I thought he might still be worried it might hurt, but after reading this thread, maybe it's just him.
I'm getting a little frustrated with all the trips in, undies off, sit on loo then do nothing, only to do it all again a hundred times :wall: But hey it's all the fun of a 2 year old I guess :lol:

Okay. Today was a 22 hour stint. She weed at 6.30 last night and then nothing until just before 5pm.

I was tearing my hair out.

But since then she's had three accidents so I'm really really hoping that the power struggle has been broken and we can move on.
