how worried should i be?

Between 7pm last night and 6:30 this morning M had 4 ozs of milk. Dry diaper all night. Her diaper wasn't wet until I dropped her off at my mom's a half hour ago. Do you think she may have been dehydrated? She only had 4 ozs of milk last night (instead of her normal 6 ozs) before she went to bed.

I wouldn't be too worried. You can try to give her a sippy with water if you're really concerned, but I wouldn't call the pedi (if it were me--you can if you want).

DS cuts back on eating when he's teething. He's also woken up a few times without a wet diaper, but it's not something that happens on a regular basis. I'd wait to see what happens tomorrow morning. If it happens a few times, then maybe call pedi, but once is probably just a fluke.

Does she usually eat in the middle of the night?

I would tell your mom to monitor her diapers and keep offering her milk/water. Did she drink anything this morning? I don't think missing 2 ounces would be enough to dehydrate a kid.

She does not eat during the night. However, she usually has an overflowing diaper when she wakes up.

I asked my mom earlier to give her more water during the day instead of just with her meals and to monitor her diapers. Thanks for the reassurance, mamas!

Sounds very normal to me.  My LO goes to bed on 6 oz these days and sleeps 12 hours.  If she's teething she might eat/drink less.
