would you be worried?

Maggie hasn't peed in at least 14 hours. She usually stays dry overnight and sometimes into the middle of the morning, so when we took Owen to the pedi this AM and she hadn't peed yet I wasn't concerned. But she just woke from nap and still is dry. She isn't ill, vomiting or lethargic, just no pee. I've got a call into the pediatrician and we're giving her lots of liquids in the meantime.

I would be concerned enough to call the pediatrician; but I'm not sure if it might just be considered a normal sign of readiness/development. KWIM? I'm interested to hear what the pedi has to say. Keep us posted.

DD used to do that every once in a while, but if she doesn't pee soon, I would be worried.

KristenBtobe · August 2010

The nurse said if she hasn't peed by 7 pm to call back.

I would be worried enough to call (which it looks like you did) good luck and keep us updated!

Ava was once running a 105 fever and had only peed once or twice (but didn't even soak the diaper) and her pedi said "If she has peed at all in 24 hours that is all we're looking for" (as far as hydration goes). They just recommended keeping the fluids going and to call if anything changed. I say this just to say that she is probably fine, not to say that you still shouldn't call your pedi.

ETA: And now I see that you already did.

Thanks. It's so hot out I wonder if she just isn't a little dehydrated.

It's a little odd, but clearly your pedi has given you some direction. I hope the liquids help. Keep us posted.

Pee watch is over. She peed a lot of very yellow tinkle. Phew!

Whenever Katie sweats a lot, she goes a long time without a wet diaper, even when it seems like she drinks a lot of water. When she cools down, she seems to soak a diaper though.

Glad Pee Watch 2010 is over.

Is she potty training? DD is starting to hold her pee for quite some time now. I have been concerned about dry diapers on more than one occasion. What I figured out is that she may go dry for some time, then she pees like a crazy until her diaper leaks, all at once. I am thinking we have to PT soon. Just curious, as the long dry spell is a good sign of her being able to PT.

We've been talking about the potty but aren't doing anything hardcore. We offered her the potty several times today and she never went, so that crossed my mind too. I just worry that she will give herself a bladder infection or something.

Boys are built different (hello captain obvious), but Brandon's done this a few times. His lips are also chapped and he's had some strange poo habits. That was probably TMI, but I guess what I wanted to tell you is that when he finally does pee, it's buckets in the course of a few hours. So be on the lookout for some sopping diapers when she finally does pee... we're talking shorts wet within 45-60 minutes of the last diaper change.

Anyway, trust your mom gut, and if she's still not peeing enough, call the pedi back and pursue it.
