Dehydration?

Question

My child has had what we assume is a tummy bug since Monday- being sick once or twice a day. I put them on their current nappy at 4:30 yesterday (after the last sick). It’s still bone dry at 8:30 this morning. They seems to be a bit better in themself and isn’t overly sleepy etc. Should I be worried???

Answer

If over 12m, doctors want a minimum of 3 wet diapers in 24hrs. Dry overnight isn’t necessarily concerning. 
If they had less than 3 wet diapers yesterday or continue not to have 3 today, then, sure get them checked. 
Work on hydration today. Push water, juice, popsicles, electrolyte drinks, soup, etc.

Answer

My dr said there needs to be a minimum of 4 pee diapers within a 24 hr period. So dry overnight is ok, but now try to hydrate even with juices or purees and monitor how many pee diapers until bedtime. If you dont get 4 or theres high fever/disorientation, hospital/urgent care.
