Question
What should parents do if their 9-month-old baby has reduced urine volume?
Answer
A decrease in urine volume may be caused by insufficient water intake in the baby, excessive sweating due to hot weather, or abnormal kidney function. It is recommended that parents increase the baby’s fluid intake during hot weather and observe if the urine volume increases. If the urine volume remains low, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a urine test and kidney function check to determine the cause and receive professional medical advice.
