3 Year Old Not Peeing Very Frequently

My son just turned 3 and has been potty trained for some time now. Recently we have noticed that he has only been going pee about 1-2 a day. He can go all day at preschool without using the bathroom. He drinks plenty of water and doesn't seem to be dehydrated. Any ideas what might be going on?

What can I do next?

My daughter pees about twice a day, maybe three times. It amazes me. I need to go all the time!

Is he drinking a lot throughout the day? If not increase water intake and see what happens.

Sounds normal, kids at this age have amazing bladder control! My daughter is 3.5 and goes 2-3x's a day. Unlike me, since having a baby, it seems like I go ALL the time! Lol... I think we forget that when we are young kids, that we don't need to go that often.

My daughter is like this, and I was (and still am) the same way. Honestly, he might just have a very large bladder! If he starts getting urinary tract infections, I'd look into things further and talk to your doc.

My daughter is 4 and she pees 3xs max a day. She's fine and she drinks apple juice or chocolate milk only. If he's acting fine I say its ok. If something is wrong with him then same here because they go equally!
