Yellow urine indicates that your baby is dehydrated?
The answer is: possibly, but not necessarily!
Yellow urine does not necessarily mean dehydration. First of all, we must clarify the cause of yellow urine, if it is caused by diseases, such as fever, diarrhea and other medically indicated diseases, then you can feed water appropriately. Talking about the phenomenon of yellow urine alone cannot be determined whether it is an indication of insufficient water intake, but also combined with symptoms such as whether the frequency of urination is reduced.
If there is no diarrhea, fever and other disease symptoms, the baby is very healthy, just a simple urine yellow, in fact, can not come to the conclusion that water needs to be fed, feeding water may not be able to solve the urine yellow.
If due to illness or sweating and other reasons, resulting in insufficient water intake, and causing yellow urine, proper feeding can also be done, but not excessive. Excessive hydration in infants can reduce the intake of other milk or other foods, which may affect growth and development in the long run.
