dehydration

brazzale

DS is showing signs of dehydration.  I'm having a hard time telling if it's from his doozey of a cold or the fact we dropped a bottle.  We dropped a bottle about 3-4 days before the cold.  I've been asking daycare to give him his sippy cup with water in it more throughout the day in hopes that helps.

 

Any thoughts?  When you dropped a bottle, did you up water intake?

Yes, when dd started dropping bottles I started encouraging more and more water/juice sippy cups throughout the day.

It could be because of the cold or the dropped bottle. When we dropped a bottle, DD2 got really constipated. I found out that neither daycare or DH was giving her water. Now, I make sure she gets at least one sippy cup of water throughout the day and some sort of prune or pear puree.
