Do children urinate more often in winter?

Patient's question:

The child is one year old. Previously, her urination was well-controlled, but now she frequently wets her pants. It takes more than ten dozen diapers to replace them, and even after changing, she wets them again. Moreover, it's winter now, and being wet is very uncomfortable for her. She had a urinary tract infection recently, and I'm worried about potential kidney problems.

Doctor's answer:

At this time, it is usually because the baby drinks a lot of water during the day. It is recommended to let the baby empty their bladder promptly and not hold their urine, otherwise it may lead to bedwetting. Generally, frequent urination is good, but it is best not to give the child too much water or sugar-coated pear juice, as this can easily affect the child's kidney function. It is recommended to give the child a moderate amount. If the child drinks too much, they cannot fully absorb it.
