Help Prevent Urinary Tract Infections Among Children

There are things parents can do to help prevent urinary tract infections among children.

The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse offers these suggestions:
  • Encourage your child to use the bathroom regularly.
  • If your child doesn't urinate frequently, offer more fluids.
  • Make sure your child knows how to properly wipe after using the bathroom.
  • Dress your child in cotton underwear and loosely fitted clothing.
