Answer

Doctor’s Recommendations:

  1. Besides frequent urination, is the baby drinking more water? Has the total urine output increased? Possibilities of diabetes insipidus should be ruled out.
  2. If accompanied by symptoms such as urinary pain, difficulty urinating, has there been a change in urine color? Are there more bubbles? Problems caused by inflammation or non-inflammatory conditions should be ruled out.
  3. Has there been a significant improvement in the baby’s bedwetting at night and during the day? If so, it may be necessary to consider psychogenic polyuria. Finally, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician first. The simplest step is to perform a routine urine test, and then further examinations will be conducted based on the results.
