Wondering if you can help me????

I agree that you have reason to be concerned. If your regular pediatrician won't respect your wishes for testing, then I would suggest you ask for recommendations for another provider. Your friends, neighbors, school nurse, or hospital referral service can be of help.

Best of luck. Please let us know what happens.

You don't say how much he is drinking.

He sounds dehydrated.

Definitely take him back to the doctor.

Dehydration in a baby is a serious thing. Diabetes is pretty rare in an infant.

In either case, he needs attention, and you need to be taken seriously!

Hi

He drinks 8 oz at a time so it's about 32 oz of milk at night. He just seems to not get enough to drink. I don't know. He doesn't seem dehydrated. He eats and drinks all day long. His eyes are fine. Not sunken in at all. When he cried he had tears. He is going to bathroom alot too. Thanks for your insight though. Calling the doc now. I will let ya know.

Thanks again

If he seems to feel good and is happy, then that's a very good thing.

But sticky urine is not to be ignored.

Milk does have a lot of sodium (relatively speaking). Doesn't seem like a good enough reason for sticky pee and increased thirst, though.

Not sure about this, but that's why God made pediatricians, right?

Do keep us posted!
