Must get liquid!
by: Baby Help Line

Hi Helen,

I don't know if your daughter sleeps because she is ill or because she is dehydrated or both.Either way you need to get her to drink. 20 hours is a long time with a dry nappy for such a little friend.

Contact her doctor to see if she needs a check up and also immediately start giving her liquid; water or some fluid replacement from the pharmacy suitable for babies. Try giving her 1 tea spoon every 5 minutes for an hour more or less asleep if possible, then let her sleep for an hour and then start again. if she's awake, try giving her more unless it makes her throw up.

Or - of course - follow the instructions from her doctor!

Wish you good luck,

Paula
