A noticeable drop in wet diapers is a warning sign that warrants seeing a doctor, since babies should have around 6 to 7 wet diapers a day. Offering boiled, cooled water after solids helps maintain hydration once solids begin.
⚠️ Caution:A significant drop in wet diapers (for example only once in 24 hours) can signal dehydration and should be evaluated by a pediatrician promptly. Offer water after solids to support hydration.
Parents worry when their baby suddenly pees much less after starting solids, fearing dehydration. The community takes this seriously, advising a doctor visit if output drops to once a day, while explaining that offering a little boiled water and hydrating fruits after solids helps keep the baby hydrated as their diet changes.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
A baby should have about 6 to 7 pees a day; urinating only once in 24 hours is a reason to visit the doctor.
After starting solids, follow meals with a little boiled, cooled water to help maintain hydration.
Once solids begin you can offer hydrating fruits like muskmelon and watermelon, and a little water, to keep things moving and hydration up.
