How long can a child go without weeing?

[eenybeeny]

DS has been sick which I have started other threads about. He has been vomiting and had lots of very watery diarheoa etc not eating at all and drinking very very little.

He hasnt weed since this morning - been without a nappy on all day and I am starting to get worried. He normally wees ALL the time. Like every 30 mins or something.

Well, he sounds like he might be getting a bit dehydrated. I'd take him along to your out of hours GP or local emergency department for advice.

that is what I am worried about. I think my DH thinks I am worrying too much and wouldnt take kindly to taking him to the doctor (again) I took him yesterday. The thing is sometimes my DS is fine happy and normal etc but sometimes he is crying LOADS and very badly and being sick etc and now this. I really dont know. He is a really big boy - 35 lbs at 21 months and people take one look at him and just say "oh he is the picture of health" I feel very alone in thinking something isnt right.

Yes do something about it. Way better to be safe than sorry. You are his Mum, you know when something isnt right.

If its nothing - relief, if its something, then you'll be able to get help.

but how long have your children gone without a wee? is this normal?

take him to the doctor, it might be nothing but vomiting, diarrhoea and no weeing doesn't sound like a good combination to me.

ds hasn't weed since before 12, but he has had plenty to drink and is otherwise fine so it's slightly different.
