[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I can't really remember the exact hours but I know because I put him to bed ( he had a wet diaper). The next morning ( he sleeps 11-12 hours) the mom said he didn't have a wet diaper that morning. We started with small amounts of formula more frequently. Throughout my 11.5 hour day shift, he had not had a wet diaper. I put him to bed and the next morning, they took him in because he didn't have a wet diaper and he looked worse. They are both physicians and DB said he was not showing any true signs of dehydration and showed me what to look for. I was stunned because they have always been amazing parents. [/quote]

Wait! The parents are doctors?!? That's clearly something you should have included upfront. 24 hours w/o wet diapers is just a guideline for non-medical professionals. These parents were capable of doing a dehydration assessment themselves. My DH is a peds ED doc and our kids (3 and 1) have had 0 ED visits and 0 sick visits to their regular ped between them; 1 of our kids has had 1 visit to PM Pediatrics (essentially an Urgent Care facility) because my DH was afraid they had broken a bone (and they had). This isn't bad parenting it's having a doctor for a parent.[/quote]

The parents might not be 'bad' per se but OP you are definitely a good nanny.
