    It's possible she's developing better bladder control...?

    I could have written the exact same post. My DD has been so fussy and clingy this week, won't eat her normal food but is still drinking as usual. Her nappies haven't been as wet as normal but she developed a temp yesterday and now has a cold. When I read your post I was thinking maybe it has just been the heat but what also came to mind was teething or growth spurt? They can do all kinds of funny things to kids Also, when you're pregnant your milk changes so maybe that could have something to do with it also?!

    I'd just keep an eye on her and watch out for other signs of dehydration. Hydralite couldn't hurt though

    Sorry wasn't much help!!

    Cheers for the replies, it is possible she is learning better bladder control she has had dry or nearly dry nappies overnight now and again for a while, but that is normally followed by a large puddle on the floor in the morning or a very wet nappy.

    She is teething (top two canines and possibly bottom ones two) but hasn't really had any issues with other teeth so hadn't really thought of that.

    Will just keep an eye on her.

    Hope your DD perks up Enchanted.

    My DS2 is 17 months and he doesn't wee much either.... On most days I am only changing his nappy 3 times (and usually not because I HAVE to, but because of the time they've been on), morning, after lunch and night. He's in part-time cloth too.

    Maybe offer more BF or water if you are concerned?
