Bubble baths should be avoided because they tend to cause urethral irritation,which leads to UTI.It is desirable to wear cotton rather than nylon underwear.Nylon tends to hold in moisture and promote bacterial growth,whereas cotton absorbs moisture.Children should be encouraged to urinate at least four times a day.An adequate fluid intake prevents the buildup of bacteria in the bladder.
