Monitor her fluid intake. She should be drinking several glasses of water a day. If she is drinking normally and still not urinating more than once a day, then that IS reason for concern. Have her checked out.

Yes you should very well be concerned. How often do you urinate? More than once a day right...take her to the doctor...have her drink plenty of liquids something just don't seem right...when it was first noticed or first said she shouldv'e went to the doctors then. It is better to catch an issue then wait until the last minute.

I would have her checked out. That doesn't seem right. How do you know if she's otherwise healthy there are a lot of things that can go wrong in the body that we never see. Have you ever spoken to a doctor about this? She could have kidney problems. Take her to a doctor.

well i'd certainly concerned. Is she drinkingalot of fluids during the day? Should should be drinking plenty ofwater and if she isn't already .. have her start and that may increase her urination frequency
If she is having plenty of fluids but not urinating everyday or only once a day then you should call her pediatrician to get his opinion.

I would discuss this with your pediatrician and in the mean time make sure she is getting plenty of water, not sports drinks or soda, or juices, water. You will be able to tell if she is not getting enough water if her urine is dark yellow and has a strong odor, if this is the case give her more WATER and make a doctors appointment right away.

The way i see it is if its going in it has to be coming out right lol my daughter is 3 and she only sometimes goes the the bathroom once a day everyone is different i wouldn't be concerned when she has to go she will i think she is old enough that if something was bothering her she would tell you. Just make sure she is drinking enough! I wouldn't worry GOOD LUCK

Yes, there are plenty of problems that she could have which this could be one of the symptoms. Take her to her pediatrician. She should be urinating at a very minimum once a day.

I would be. First, I would make sure that she is drinking plenty of water during the day, every day. If she is, then she may be having kidney problems and needs to see her pediatrician. Good luck.

Take her to the doctor-she may be masking a urinary infection (if it burns to pee-then pee less often). You need to be sure that is the cuase. Could she be going at school and saying she isn't? I would still check-holding it for long periods is not good, and if nothing else it is likely distracting her at school. Hope all is well!

I would be concerned if I was her parent. Is she drinking enough fluids in your opinion? If so, i'd take her to the doctor. That would be a warning sign for me.
