needs more liquids

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
If your child is active and playful no need to worry
It is common in infants to pass less urine in summer.
My advice
1. Feed more frequently both breastfeeding and liquids like gruel, juice tender coconut water etc.
2. Try giving water in sips every hour. He may not drink at a time but give it more frequently in small amounts.
If there is pain during urination or fever consult your pediatrician.
Otherwise he should improve with more liquids.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
