Hi, In addition to try to offer her more liquid and often, I think you are doing the right thing to contact her doctor. While waiting for the appointment, try to offer her something to drink every hour. Even if she just takes a teaspoon, it adds up. Babies often eat and drink less when they are ill (just as we do). If they stop peeing, if the urine is dark yellow, they become tired and cranky it can be a sign of dehydration. I don't know how old your baby is, but particularly small babies can become dehydrated quite fast. I don't know for how long this has been going on. If it is only for a day or so, and she does not seem sick or tired, it might just be that she needs to be "filled up" before she starts peeing her usual amounts again. But do talk to her doctor, you can never be too careful! Hope she is well really soon again! /Paula
