Din know toilet training can caused UTI

Saturday Charlotte was complaining that her pee pee is ichy and backside is painful... I thought she is making a fuss as there is no redness or anything... Sunday noon she cry out loud and she needs to go and pee. Something is not right, she will pee little bit and cry out loud... and she cannot empty her bladder...

As Sunday, the clinic is closed, so I can only search online for home remedy... Made her drink loads of water and she keep asking to go toilet and cry each time she pee and cannot finish peeing... can sense that she is traumatized..

I asked her to put on the diaper and pee on the diaper instead... distract her with books and whenever she feel like peeing, I ask her to pee on the diaper... I guess this helps her to empty her bladder.... After a while she is OK and she says its not painful already.

I am not sure how serious her UTI is... I checked online and realize it might be caused by her toilet training... She has been off diaper since Jan this year (for day time... when she goes to school and when she is at home) Other than that, when we go out during weekends and sleeping at night she is on diaper... Slowly this month I tried to let her off diaper during weekends when we are outside. I realized she can dun pee for like 3 to 4 hours!... Which is not normal right? She really hold her pee very long... Sometimes till the extend of leaking.

Last week, one of the night her daddy forget to put her on diaper for bed while I was out. The next morning I realize she is not on diaper and she did not wet herself. So I thought she is ready for off diaper at bedtime. Friday and Saturday I encourage her to be off diaper and she did not wet herself. Then Sunday this problem come... So Sunday night I put her back on diaper and she can pee a lot on the diaper. But when she is off diaper, the pee next morning is not a lot.

I was reading online about toddler having UTI from toilet training. How huh... should I continue to train her for night time off diaper or hold back the training? I gave her barley water today and ask the teacher to let her drink loads of water. Will monitor and see if she need to see a doc. She did not have any fever and since Sunday evening till this morning she can pee 1 shot and no complain of pain.
