Callum wont drink any juice or water! And its SO hot, and his head is always sweating!! So he's loosing fluid but isnt drinking anything to replace it. He has had 3 bottles of milk today and he will have another before bed (8pm) i know this has water in but is it enough? Im worried he will get dehydrated!! x

Is he still having wet nappies? Is his fontanelle sunken t all? I think generally babies will drink if they need to. Byron doesn't appear to be drinking much more despite the weather but he has lots of veggies which have a high water content and of course there's plenty of fluid in milk. As long as he's wetting nappies you won't need to worry.

Is he on solids? He will get fluids from that too...applesauce is a good one, it has high water content
