Help! Could it be the cucumbers?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So it's 4am. Since dd woke at 1am (wet) to nurse, she has gone through seven, yes 7, wet diapers. She's also made one poo (on the pot). This is unprecedented for us! If she goes through 2 wet dipes a night, that's a lot. She's not quite 5 months old. Could it be all the cucumbers I've been eating? (We've had a bumper crop so far this summer, and I love them--cuke salad almost every night for dinner.)

I remember one of you mamas recently saying your dd pees w/o knowing it when she eats watermelon, so that's what's making me think maybe the cukes.

I'm not sure if Max is aware she's going right now or not--if she is, she's making no attempt to hold it. She kept being restless while sleeping between 1am-3:30am, I'd check and she'd be wet already. At this point, she's just up. Urgh!!!!

It's also been really hot here, and I've been drinking a lot of water.

Anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas?

Sorry I don't know about the cucumbers, but my dds is the same way about watermelon. One serving of water melon and he's peeing all over the place for the rest of the day and sometimes the day after. Maybe lay off the cukes for a day and see if it helps?

My 7 mo old had summer squash today and pooped his diaper 3 times today! For the record, he has only ever pooped one diaper, if any, a day. I felt like a bad mom, but then I realized how lucky I am
