I don't think I can wait until the 18th to see the girls' pediatrician. Baby A still has poor appetite. Her sister averages 21oz a day while hers decreased to 15. Yesterday she only drank 9oz. Any mamas ever gone through this?

At that rate she will become dehydrated rather quickly. If she isn’t wetting a diaper every 6 hours, she’ll need to be seen in the ER to get fluids.

Don't wait, call the pediatrician tomorrow. If they're formula fed, she may need a switch in formula. If you nurse or pump, it may be something you're eating that's not agreeing with her. Allergies are common at her age and stomach issues are also common. 9oz isn't enough, especially in summer. Is she having movements and frequent wet diapers?

@chasha2017 Call the doctor first thing in morning. You'll probably have to bring her in for a visit. Good luck!

Thank you ladies for your advice. @cams @snarfyk I went to the ER with her this morning. They said she was slightly dehydrated but not to the point where they felt medical intervention was necessary. They told me to continue feeding her smaller amounts more frequently and if there were no results or her condition worsens within the next week or 2, follow up with her pediatrician and take her to see the GI doctor. For now they said she looks pretty good and her weight wasn't a concern. 🙏🏽
Also, she made me look like a big fat liar because she drank a full 4oz bottle while we were in the ER 😂😂 which she hasn't done in about 2 weeks 😂🤦🏽♀️

Thank God she's ok! You did well Mama. It never fails, every.single.time. My daughter had a 103 plus fever, cried for a good two hours straight. Rush her to the pediatrician's office and she's Miss. Social Butterfly like we're the crazy ppl. Of course, she also drank a whole sports bottle of water in front of the doctor as well. You feel better and get your little internal laugh for the day at the same time. These kids are going to be the death of us haha. I'm just glad she's eating again for you, even though"you're delusional Mom if the year" now. I'm on the list with ya haha.

😂😂😂 "delusional mom of the year" yeah, I had a pretty good laugh. Im just glad it's nothing too serious.
