Normal: Just observe for any other symptom, can be weather related, losing much through sweat, so long the child is acting fine, best wishes

Great diapers or pbs: One of the "new" problems faced by advances in diaper design was the increase in perceived lack of wet diapers. In hospital settings we weigh them to keep track of wetting, since the moisture is pulled away and absorbed into drying agents.That said, a kid who truly doesn't wet in that time frame is a problem, so discuss it with his doc.
