My daughter is 3 yrs 4 months old but still many times she does toilet in her pants. And bed wetting is a daily thing for her. I do take her for toilet once in the middle of night still she wets.

I am really confused if its normal or should I take some actions to control this.

If your daughter is regular at potty then its fine. At this age its not necessary that she will have full control on her toilet. You can wait till the age of 5 years and keep training her. If it persists after that then do consult a doctor.

dhanalakshmi,

If your daughter tells use and uses toilet for peeing even once or twice in a day then I think she at least realizes when she should go to toilet. So, I would suggest that you just keep encouraging her by praising everytime she uses the toilet. This way she will get an idea what is good. I am sure slowly she will be trained.

About bedwetting I think it may take a couple of more years.

My daughter still wets her bed at night if I do not take her to toilet twice in between sleep. In winters its worse. And just 2-3 months back she has stopped peeing in her pants. And btw my daughter is 4 yrs 2 months old so I guess you can wait for about an year.

You can wait till 5 years of age I am sure by that age your kid will be fine as you have already specified that she pees sometimes and does use toilet other times.
