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

My baby refused drinking
by: Anonymous

My little one was the same and pressed her lips together if you went near her with liquid of any form!

I am using a syringe and having to force it in, end up having most of it spat out tho!!

Sick or in pain?
by: Paula (Easybabylife)

Hi,

Do you have any idea why your baby refuses to drink? Can it be a sore throat, teething or nausea?

In addition to making sure your baby gets the liquid, you need to figure out why this is happening if you haven't already. If your baby may be in pain, you may want to try Baby Tylenol to mitigate the pain. Thirst is such a primary instinct, so when a baby refuses, something is likely to be wrong. Contact a doctor if this continues.

I hope your baby is better soon,

Paula
