URGENT advice needed
Hey ladies
desperately need some advice as being s first time mum I don't know how serious this is.
My little boy who is 10 weeks old hasn't had a wet nappy for over 24 hours now. He is drinking a lot less, only about 1-2oz and it's taking ages to even get him to drink that.
Should I wait until Monday and take him to doctors or should I call medoc/nhs direct or take him to hospital? I've googled it and people say it's dehydration or urine infection. He already has bad reflux and an umblical hernia.
Help!!! Don't know if I'm worrying too much but also don't want to leave it if it's serious

so to be safe phone nhs direct. hth
Hope he's alright and perks up soon. Have you tried to give him water from a teaspoon? When my little one was ill we spent ages just dripping water or milk from a spoon in to his mouth and he swallowed out of a reflex action rather than because he wanted to drink it.

I rang nhs direct and they said take him to hospital. After waiting 3 hrs we saw the doctor and typically Leo had a wet nappy!! Not very much but better than nothing. Just got to keep his fluids up and continuosly try and feed him if necessary.
Blimin scary evening but really glad he's ok
