Sunken fontanelle?

[MantaRay]

Hun, I really don't know. I know it's a sign of serious dehydration in a younger baby. I would probably get it checked out just in case. If it's a public holiday there you might not be able to see a doctor easily, do you have a 24 health line there that you can call and ask? Otherwise maybe you could call a hospital and ask them?

I think that you should get this checked

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that her bottle she had at 5 this morning she drank all of that quick smart, but only 100ml just now.
So would you still recommend getting her checked even though she hows no signs of illness etc? (ie no temp, happy, colour is good, wet & dirty nappies,)

I would get it checked as it can take quite a lot of fluids to return hydration to normal levels, with N is took a couple of bags of hydrolyte, and she was at the point where she had no tears but her fontanelle wasn't sunken, HTH's

Thinking of you both hun take care xxoo

Ok. DH is taking her to the hospital (DS is tagging along even though we have told him how BORED he is going to be, he still wants to go).

I get far too emotional bout things like this, and if she needs a drip or anything, I don't want to see them doing that to her. Seen it once before when she was 3 months old, and I just can't do it again.

Mel, they would be more likely do an NGT if hydration is needed rather than IV, I know how horrible it is to see, seen it too many time myself so know exactly where you are coming from xxoo
