Not Peeing At Night
Posted: 01-24-07 08:24am

Ava's been sleeping anywhere from 6-9 1/2 hours at night. A few nights she didn't pee. When she wakes up and I check her diaper, it's dry. Is this okay? We went to the Dr. Yesterday and I forgot to ask him. I tried to look it up on the internet, but nothing came up.

I would call the doc office to find out. She's quite young still so she should be peeing and you want to make sure she is not dehydrated.

Yeah, that doesn't sound right. A baby should def have a wet nappy after sleeping for that long. Check with your doctor.

I agree with the others, she should definately be wet when she gets up. Keep us updated, and .I hope everything is fine!

She's not dehydrated, b/c she drinks 5-6 oz every 3 hours during the day and never throws up. I'll call tomorrow and ask.

It only happened a few times and its normal during the day.

it's not a matter o how much she drinks. It's how many times a day she wets her diaper. When trey had gastro last yr, he was drinking like crazy and hadn't peed for like a day and had to go to the hosp.

Just keep an eye out and make sure she wets at least 4 diapers a day.

Thanks. Yeah, she wets more than 4 a day. She has about 6-7 wet diapers and 2 poo diapers.

I was always told that formula fed babies need to be given extra water to drink as well as their feeds because the milk is considered a food and not a drink. Perhaps you could gve her a little cooled boiled water to drink just in case.

(i do realise that the advice given in .America may be different to that in the .U.K)
