What’s normal? And what can go wrong? Two things you may wonder as a parent or carer when checking your child’s bladder health💧

Bladders often misbehave in childhood, but it can be difficult to talk about these problems when we’re not sure what is normal.

If you feel like this, we have an advice sheet on the ERIC website which talks about:

🔵how the bladder works
🔵what is a healthy bladder
🔵what healthy wee looks like
🔵how much children should be drinking each day.

Visit the ERIC website for more information: https://eric.org.uk/childrens-bladders/
