kiddie-speak for "urinate" is wee-wee" in English so I would go with "wee-weer"

the kiddie verb is "wee" but to go for a pee" (i.e urinate) would be "to do/go wee-wees"

and the use of "wee-weeR" is teasing (i.e. a kiddie who habitually needs to "wee")

Explanation:
Another UK take on it. As far as I know there is no generally accepted term.
What I suggest is just what I personally would say to a baby or small child to tease...

neutral  David Hollywood: is fine but have to be careful if directly addressing the nipper as could lead to problems later :)

  -> absolutely: I (probably wrongly) decided not to add that this kind of talk could only be used for a tiny tot - could be very pejorative if, say, the child was of an age to be 'potty trained' and was having problems in that area
