I feel counting wet nappies may be misleading. What might be a good and
healthy 'average' cannot be a one size fits all....there are
well-established clinical sligns of dehydration, and surely that's what
nurses and other carers should be looking at. Look at the *baby* - that's
got to be a better guide.

As regards low blood sugar, there is a lot of stuff in the Lactnet archives
with references - check the WHO guidelines on this.
