Just got back from the DR. w my DD she has a UTI.  First one ever. I have herd of this in toddler girls ages 3-5 is a bit common.  Just wondering if anyone has been through this and what are some ways to treat/ prevent.

 

Thanks!

    my daughter has had one or two recently.  I try to make sure she has enough fluids and that she is wiping properly and keeping clean in that area.

    Ugh how awful!

    I second wiping front to back. I would also forgo bubble baths. One of my friend's little girls kept getting them and she stopped adding bubble bath to bath time and they went away.
