I posted a thread in bhaviour about ds see here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/behaviour_development/1296813-please-help-my-little-boy-isnt-himself-and-its-breaking-my-heart
The one thing i didnt mention as i didnt think it was important until my mum mentioning it yesterday is that he is drinking alot. I have started measuring his fluid in take and since 7.45 this morning he has had 2 pionts of fluid already, not including the link he drank out the bowl from his cereal and i have just caught him supping from his sisters cup. During the night he has a drink beforebed and at least two in the night. On its own i know its not a lot but given his change in behaviour (see thread above) and him wetting himself it might add up to something? Also he has very dry skin and eczema. The drinking in no way effects his appetite. When born he was putting on a lb a week and was a very stocky baby following the 75th percentile. No idea what he follows but he's about 26lbs now and he's 2.2 years.
He is booked in to the dr tomorrow to have a wee test as it was suggested maybe a urine infection. When i go tomorrow am i best to get a sample from him before he's had breakfast or let them do it after breakfast?
