    It really depends on the child. Our now 11 year old granddaughter could (and still does) hold her pee forever. She pees maybe three times per day maximum, and that's been how it's been since she was your daughter's age (her doctor says it's fine).

    Most two year olds though can't hold it much at all. What we did with our girls at that age was put a Pull-Up on them if we knew we were going to be out for more than an hour or so.

    Being able to hold it in is a learned skill, and not necessarily age-related. A child who is new to potty training won't be able to hold it long at all - by the time they tell you they need to go, you'd better get them to a toilet in seconds, not minutes. With time and practice, they will develop the ability to hold it longer. How long has your child been potty trained?

    Also, if you think about how it is for an adult, the ability to hold it depends to some degree on how full your bladder is. If your child waits until they are about to burst to tell you they need to go... you won't have much time. If they tell you sooner, then there will be more flexibility. With an older kid you can ask if they can hold it. With a 2 year old it's more of a guessing game.

    It depends upon the child but most kids cannot hold it for very long. It's also not good for people in general to hold it for too long.
