Pamela H in Texas Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 My almost 15month old....has not wet her diaper today. When I got her up this morning, she had a tiny bit of loose stool and it was wet (normal). But she hasn't wet it since (or had a BM). The reason I'm extra worried is that she threw up the night before. Yesterday, she ate light and had popsicles and water. She kept everything down. Diapers were okay. THen last night she got a fever I haven't been able to bring down completely. Now she is "faking" drinks. She'll put it up to her mouth and make "num num" or smacking sounds but isn't really drinking. She's *very* fussy and just hanging on me. BTW, my dd had a tummy bug (and cold too) last week. My son had it this weekend. My 6yo had the same symptoms as baby the night before last and yesterday but seems fine today. My tummy is queasy and I feel like I've been run over by a MACK truck, but... And hubby is home very sick (got the worst of it). So we definitely have a bug. But at what point do I worry about her not even wetting her diapers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'd be worried now if she's not drinking anything. She might need IV fluids. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlktwins Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 when the boys were still in diapers, our pedi said to call the office or take to the er if there wasn't a wet diaper in 8 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 We were always told 8 hours, too. But once an ER doctor said they were less worried if it went longer at night. So if it's been during the day, it's worth a call at least. Does she have tears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrystal Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 :iagree: Call the office and let talk to the nurse. She needs some fluids and is probably dehydrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 UPDATE: We went to the ER. They said she didn't look bad, but she didn't have tears and something about her tongue. Anyway, so they gave her two bags of fluid and did bloodwork. Her temp was still 102.5. Hopefully she'll feel better in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually start to worry and head for the dr if a little one like that hasn't wet in about 4-6 hours. Dehydration is nothing I want to mess with. I hope she feels better in the morning.

Catwoman Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm glad you brought her in. Good call on your part! I hope her fever starts coming back down by the morning. It's so scary when little ones get sick. :( :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
