Breastfed baby urinates less

The healthy bowel movements and dietary arrangements of children are issues that mothers pay attention to every day, for fear of some abnormal manifestations and choosing to take advantage of their children. Recently, they have found that the child has less urine. The daily amount of breast milk or diet is relatively regular, and the child often drinks water, but the child's urine volume has decreased significantly. In this case, you can go to the hospital to check if these factors are caused.

First, let's understand the concept of oliguria. Oliguria refers to a daily urine volume of less than 200 ml in infancy and less than 300 ml in the preschool period. Due to individual differences, the diagnosis of oliguria must also be confirmed in combination with relevant clinical examinations.

The most common causes of oliguria in babies are as follows:

First, especially in hot weather, when the baby drinks less water, it is easy to cause dehydration in the body and less urine output. At this time, mothers don’t need to worry, as long as the baby replenishes water in time, it will help improve the condition;

Second, digestive tract diseases, especially gastroenteritis, can easily cause persistent high fever, diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms in babies, which can easily lead to dehydration and reduce urine output;

3. Other diseases, including congenital urinary system malformations, urethral obstruction, renal failure caused by various kidney diseases, etc.

Therefore, when the baby has less urine, timely symptomatic treatment or treatment is necessary to avoid delaying the disease.

What should you do when your baby has less urine?

First, babies should drink plenty of water and pay attention to their diet. They should eat light food and avoid eating too salty food.

Second, pay attention to changes in environmental temperature. When your baby has less urine, observe whether he or she has other symptoms. Combined with the accompanying symptoms, seek medical attention in time.

Third, if the baby only urinates less at night and urinates normally during the day, the mother generally does not need to worry about this situation as it is normal. If the baby's condition is caused by gastroenteritis or other diseases, the cause should be identified and symptomatic treatment should be given in time to avoid dehydration, oliguria, or affecting the baby's development and the occurrence of complications.
