Yes: The timing of your visit is also important. If the kid is still wetting diapers every 4-6 hrs you have time to get in with his regular dr. If 8-10 hr since last wet, call the service for guidence or see someone at an urgent care facility.Often your provider can make a basic assessment of babies status by phone and provide you with things to help while you arrange to be seen.
