She was born 3 kg weight and now she is 6 kg.

Possible but not likely
by: Baby Help Line

Hi Shikha!

Unless your baby is very thirsty, tired and maybe has started to loose some weight, she is not likely to have diabetes.

If anything is wrong with her, a urinary tract infection (UTI) is probably more likely.

However, since diabetes is such a serious condition, I think you should take your daughter to a doctor. Then she can easily be checked for both diabetes and UTI, through blood and urine tests.

I really hope there is nothing to be concerned about. Wish you good luck!

nothing to worry
by: Anonymous

no they didnt told anything only urine test were all fine so dr doent showed any interest in diabetes but for peeing a lot there are number of factors she told like mother's milk having lots of water or small uterus or some urinary infection.
i dont know what was the reason but now my daughter is 2 year old and she is not having this problem

Hi Ashley,

The fact that your son is now eating a lot, is actually a very good sign that he is now well. Babies often have periods with very healthy appetite just after being ill. I guess it is theri bodies makeing sure that they gain back whatever weight lost during the illness. So don't worry!
