My 2 (nearly 3) year old has started going to the potty more frequently the past 4 days. He had been a little unwell on Thursday and the doctor said to watch for him getting dehydrated.
Each time he’s gone on the potty his wee has come out this colour, Monday his first wee was the darkest, the picture I’ve uploaded is from this morning. Yesterday when getting him up and ready for nursery he had a totally dry nappy and had not weed at all in the night, when he got to nursery he’d weed in his nappy pretty much straight away at about 9am, but when I went to pick him up at 6pm they said that was the only wee he’d done, despite spending all day giving him water.
He got home and did 3 wees between 6 and 9.30, all still a fairly dark yellow. I phoned 111 to get some advice. He is very fussy with eating and drinking but is barely having anything food wise, we’ve been actively doing everything possible to get drink down him.
111 said that she could understand my concern but he should be fine as he’d done 3 wees in the evening by the time I’d spoke to her, but she also said she was not concerned at all with the colour of his wee.
It’s just still playing on my mind because his wee has been so much clearer than this when he’s used his potty previous. And he’s been given so much water the last few days but it doesn’t seem to be getting any lighter?
I just am not sure where to go next, I suffer with anxiety and have so many people constantly saying in life how I’m being extreme or to stop worrying and it’ll be fine, but then I also have my mum telling me in this case that I should take him to GP to have it tested in case of infection?
Thank you for reading, I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant myself and one stressed exhausted mamma over here 😩 I don’t want to leave it if it could be an infection or issue with his kidneys, but also don’t want to look like I’m not listening what’s been said?
