I need help from parents out there. I'm really concerned over Wes' new "trick". I apologize if this is too graphic, but I'm at a loss.
Wes has been holding in his urine lately and for long periods of time. Yesterday, he woke up completely dry in his diaper. The last time he urinated was the night before bed. His diaper was wet, but not full. Anyway, he woke up dry and didn't urinate until nearly 12:30 in the afternoon. When he did go, it was so much that at least a cup of urine did not absorb into the diaper. It was completely full from front to back. He had at least three cups of liquid (milk and water) and still didn't go until after noon.
I'm really worried about what this holding in is doing to his bladder and kidneys. I've got a call into his pediatrician to discuss this issue and possibly take him to another specialist to see what's going on and if there is any damage already. I don't know if it's behavioral or not. We're still trying the toilet training but with him holding it for hours, it's not really going anywhere.
Has anyone else experienced this? What was your course of action? I'm really lost here.

Yes. C has held on for litrally days. With him its behavioural when he is anxious.
But best to get it checked out.
Jess, Livvie did this all the time when she started potty training. She'd hold it all night and then refuse to go until some time after noon. I kept begging her to go and she said she couldn't. I was constantly worried about her getting a bladder infection or something. Once, she even held it in for 24 hours. I was about to bring her to the emergency room but then Ben said, just give her a bath and she'll go in there. And yup, not two minutes in the tub and she peed! I guess she stopped doing that once I got off her back about it. I think it might be a control thing or something. It's probably a good idea to check with your dr but it's probably just a phase that will pass.
