A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary tract. Although urine contains a variety of fluids, salts, and waste products, it usually does not have bacteria in it.[1] When bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and multiply in the urine, they cause a UTI. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection which is also often called cystitis. Another kind of UTI is a kidney infection, known as pyelonephritis, and is much more serious. Although they cause discomfort, urinary tract infections can usually be quickly and easily treated with a short course of antibiotics.[2] Studies have shown that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of UTI’s in infants.[3]

The exact incidence in the child is not known, in newborn babies 3 are estimated in 1 % with a major proportion of affected males (relation man and women it is 3:1), in nursing to 5 % with equal proportion man – woman, and in preschool and school an incidence of 2 % with a clear preponderance in women (H:M = 1:5).
