Dark yellow urine: In an otherwise healtyy person, it represents a concentrated urine. Drinking plenty of water should dilute the urine and will not appear as yellow.
There are other rare conditions that may cause a dark urine.

No: This suggests most likely that the urine is concentrated and the baby needs more fluids, particularly if the baby is otherwise doing well.

Lots. c MD ASAP: Dark urine can be concentrated, like from dehydration (or kidney problems), can be from liver problems, obstructed bile ducts, blood problems.
Fruity could be from sugar in your urine (not good), as in diabetes, ketones in your urine (not eating or...Complication from diabetes), or related to stuff you ate or meds.
Not been eating? Drinking fluids?
See a doc asap.To make sure of what is going on.
