I am almost scared to take him out in public! He's pretty happy overall just the lack of pee has me getting more concerned. Thanks for the info! </p> MrsF on "When to worry about dehydration?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-worry-about-dehydration#post-936929 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:53:33 +0000 MrsF 936929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor baby and mama :( My go-to book (Baby 411) says to be concerned if you have fewer than 3 pee diapers in 24 hours (so pretty much what @luckypenny said), baby is lethargic, blood / mucous in stool or diarrhea lasting more than a week. They also say to hold off on solids and slowly add then back after the diarrhea is resolved. Hope this runs its course quickly! </p> matador84 on "When to worry about dehydration?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-worry-about-dehydration#post-936906 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:43:14 +0000 matador84 936906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: yes in small amounts yesterday. Will probably do again tomorrow if he wakes up with no pee diaper! </p> luckypenny on "When to worry about dehydration?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-worry-about-dehydration#post-936894 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:38:30 +0000 luckypenny 936894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the rule is one pee diaper every 6 or 8 hours. Have you tried pedialyte? </p> matador84 on "When to worry about dehydration?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-worry-about-dehydration#post-936883 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:32:43 +0000 matador84 936883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish there were a handbook for this sort of thing!<br /> Hes 10.5 months old. dS started getting a clear runny nose on Sunday and was really snugly and slept more than norm. He had 6 poopy diapers compared to 1-2 and as the day went on they went from solid to more and more loose.<br /> Monday more runny nose and got yellowy snot. More loose poop--prob 6 or so. he's had a ton of water to drink but diarrhea diapers abound, his food is going right through him. He's only had 2 pee diapers--1 this morning and another around 3. What to do? </p>
