A member asked:

My 8 month old baby used to drink 800ml of formula per day but in the last week he hasn't been drinking much,at the most he will drink 300ml in a day. he is having cereal once a day i am really concerned as he is not urinating as frequently as he did?

It happens: If you fill a baby up with cereal they will drink less. As long as it wets every 6-8 hrs and acts normal otherwise this is likely just a phase. Growth is not a single rate process. They can speed up & slow down over time and their diet can diminish or increase in a response.

Why am I urinating less? I drink a good amount of fluids a day, I don't think I am dehydrated. I've been constipated a little lately. I've only been peeing 3-4 times a day for the last week almost?
