#asktheexperts is it normal for 5 month old baby not to pass urine for 8 hrs under 42 deg celcius

A. No, it’s not normal for a 5-month-old baby to go 8 hours without passing urine, especially in very hot weather like 42°C. Babies can easily get dehydrated in such heat, so not urinating for that long is a warning sign. You should ensure the baby is getting plenty of fluids—breast milk or formula—and watch for other signs of dehydration like dry mouth, sunken eyes, or lethargy. Please contact a pediatrician immediately to check the baby’s hydration and health.
