Has her pediatrician referred her to a urologist? That’s where I’d start if not.

Only children soap. both bath and Laundry.
Different doctor. Clean the tub before you give her a bath, if you want to give her a bubble bath, use shampoo to make the bubbles and rinse off with clean water after. Cut down on caffeine if any.

My daughter started pre-k and got two and our doctor sent us to Children’s Hospital. I would demand to be sent to a specialist. Have they done any testing on her? I hope that you get some answers because this can cause her problems her whole life.
Have her checked for kidney reflux.

The white cranberry peach is really good and not as strong (personal opinion) my youngest prefers it to the red. No bubbles in the tub

If you give her bubble baths, try to cut back to no more than once a week (recommended by my daughter’s pediatrician,) give her some cran-apple juice and lots of water.
See a urologist as soon as you can.
I would be very careful and make sure it isn’t a kidney problem. I had repeat UTIs since I was very little and I eventually had to have surgery to correct it. It’s called urinary reflux. they would have to give her an unpleasant test to find out if that’s what it is but if nothing else works you might need surgery.

Start with non scented plain Dove soap only water to drink no juice no pop no caffeine at all hypoallergenic laundry soap make sure she showers everyday no bath when she goes pee make sure she is opening her legs wide enough this to can cause infection have her pediatrician set her up with a urology appointment and don’t let her stay at nobody else’s house until you know what is wrong
My daughter started getting UTIs when she was a baby. She would end up in the hospital with them. After finally seeing a Urologist he said her urethra needed stretched. When she would pee the urine would flow backwards and stay in her then she would get a uti. She had surgery when she was 6. Never got another one. Also, her urologist said getting a uti has nothing to do with what you drink. He did say no bubble baths.

I was born with kidney reflux. And because of that I get constant UTIs if I don’t watch what I have.

Pediatric urologist, and don’t back down if her regular pediatrician blows it off again, don’t accept a blow off anymore from none of them, sometimes you got to in their face about it. Because your her momma, you know that something is wrong, believe that.

100% cranberry juice don’t do that ocean spray stuff as it contains little to no cranberry but tons of sugar, only wash her privates with water no soap in any form, let her use unscented wet wipes and ‘front to back’, cut back on sugar as bacteria feeds on that stuff in general, definitely have her kidneys checked by a specialist. Epsom salt bath can help relief pain.
Referral to a good urologist right away. Drink lots of water and low fat foods

No more baths. Have her use wet wipes. Make sure she is wiping properly.
Have they checked her kidneys? My oldest daughter had a lot of similar issues, found out by accident that she has 4 kidneys.
