Concerned about lack of wet nappies - 4mth old

[bubno.3]

salad i would get him checked only as he is 4 mths if older i would say he likes to hold on lol
Seriously which nappies do u use.... as i just changed my little man (3 wks old) and it was HUGGIES and they have a line that appears and the whole nappy feels soggy ..
If your little one didnt have a wee in a 24 hr period at all then i would have him checked seriously as that would be a concern.

Im not trying to sound obvious but you stated your stressed maybe your just not realising that he has wee'd on more occassions and the days you are really waiting for it it just wont happen on demand iykwim.

And another thing when he does wee is his penis red/raw and or does he scream ? As he may have an infection ??

hi bubno.3 - for me during this stressful time its been more of a case of me not doing anything about his lack of wees than not noticing his dry nappies if that makes sense. Things have been so busy and frantic that I change his nappy think hmmm that wasnt wet - on multiple occasions, then I continue on with life as normal - thats sounds terrible but its only because he doesnt show any other signs that there is something wrong. He doesnt cry or shows signs of discomfort when he wees either. I did have him in the huggies newborn with the wetness indicator and they are great, I wish they were around when I was a first time mum lol. He was 8lb14oz born though so he didnt stay in them very long, I wish all huggies nappies had them. Thanks for your post.

He has done two wees today and I have collected both of them, they are only little but hopefully enough for them to do what they need to do at the doctors.

lol its ok OP you get from the doctor whats called a paediatric specimen bag and place it over their bits it sticks on and their pee goes into the bag. Sometimes not as easy as it sounds.
