What are the reasons for the baby urinating less?

Patient's question:

Less urination than before, still giving him the same amount of water, seems to be taking more naps, but not sleeping for long periods. He wakes up after a short nap and plays for a while before getting fussy again. He has a few small red bumps on his body, not many, not serious. In the past one or two days, there was some treatment...

Doctor's answer:

The reason for reduced urine output is either insufficient water intake or excessive loss by the body. (Except in one case, which is kidney dysfunction, often, but this is not considered for your child.) The first factor has already been ruled out, as your child's milk and water intake are similar to before.
Advice: I don't know how often your baby sweats or how frequently and loose their bowel movements, but these may be related to the reduced urine output. It is necessary to actively treat the underlying condition, especially if there are symptoms of nausea and vomiting. If your baby sweats excessively, and you mentioned they don't sleep well, this may also be related to low calcium levels. I recommend taking appropriate calcium supplements and closely monitoring the situation. Wishing your baby healthy growth!
