UTI???

TJ1979

I thought E was working on potty training bc she would cry as soon as she was wet, and start grabbing at her crotch. But now, she's still whining and grabbing at it even after I put on a clean diaper. She does a sumo squat and grabs her crotch and whines. She doesnt have any rash or redness so I dont think diaper rash is an issue. What does SAIF think?

It's possible. Also possible she has a vulvovaginitis that you can't see. I'd have her seen if it persists tomorrow.

I'd also have her seen. Poor babe- that sounds awful.

Hm ... 17mo seems pretty early to be ready for potty training.  I'm on team take her in.

Well it has only happened a few times over the last month. She didn't whine any more last night. I wonder if that specific type of diaper is uncomfortable to her? It's not one we use often as it isn't very absorbent. We usually only use it in the evening if we have to change between dinner and bedtime and know she won't be in it for more than an hour. I wish she could just talk to me and tell me what's wrong!!

Can you give her a little cranberry juice to be on the safe side in case its a Uti? I have no clue about that stuff

I gave her some craisins. She loves those things!

Does her pee have an odor? When K had her UTIs the odor was so bad that in the morning after she was in one place all night with a full diaper it smelled like she had pooped herself. The whole room smelled. She was also waking up in the middle of the night screaming, which was unlike her. Eventually she developed a fever. Vomiting can also be a symptom.

TJ1979

Definitely no odor. No fever or vomiting. She's been waking up some, but we both have colds. I think that's what's waking her up.

sounds like it is not fun. Might as well get her checked out. I hope it's nothing though, your poor little girl has been through enough!!

TJ1979

Well she hasn't done it again since, and it's been in the same diaper each time. So now I'm thinking she's just picky. I think that diaper might be wider in the crotch and irritating her. I hope I'm right.

Good news. Glad it's the diaper rather than an infection. Good sleuthing @tj1979!
