What Can Cause Weak Bladder In 2 And Half Year Old?

I'm potty training my two and half year old son. He will sit on the toilet sometimes without a fight. Sometimes he pees, if he does he receives praise and a "treat". Once I get him off the toilet within five minutes he pees his diaper even though he had just gone on the toilet. My concern is he may have a weak bladder. I has putting him on the toilet every hour then every half hour but before the half hour is up he has already pee. Please help.

Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
No.Doesn't look like weak bladder.Such type of bladder control at 2.5 years is acceptable. Since he is urinating frequently get his morning urine tested for sugar and specific gravity just to rule out diabetes.Don't give him sweetened water,fruit juices
Happy to help you
Best regards
