#AskTheExpert my 8 month old baby sleeps less than 12 hours in 24 hours most of the days . Some times pees less . Why ? He is active but irritable

A. Hi mom Baby should pass out urine 6-8 times in a day. If the pee count is less then that means ur baby is dehydrated. Increase the intake of water and other fluids like coconut water, buttermilk, fresh fruit juice etc to keep ur baby hydrated. Also small babies have Different sleep pattern. If ur baby is active and comfortable when awake then no need to worry
