Find the book Woman's Bodies Woman's Wisdom By Chrsitian Northrup. She is wonderful on audio tape. She talks about woman having problems with bladder infections from not going frequently enough and the social pressure to go only when it is convenient for someone else's schedule like a teacher's.

Also, is your child on vitamins? The vitamin C can be a bladder irritant. Within 24 hours of my taking my 5 yr old off vitamins she was dry. Now we tale them ony first thing in the morning. And watch out for watermelon ! Same idea.

Has she had a physical? Don't rule out abuse; I thought it would never happen to my child either and was I wrong.

Getting enough exercise lifting and thus strengthening the pelvic floor? That is lifting with the knees and not the back. Very important. Squatting is good for us women.
