Dehydration?

[Blue_bumpkin]

I was wandering what the signs of this were?... in detail?

Like I know a sunken head is a sign but with there being a soft area of their head its hard to tell by running your hand over. Im so confued and dont really think lo is dehydrated but wanted to be aware of what to look for.

Thank

Found this from BabyCenter:

How can I tell if my baby is dehydrated?

Any of these signs could indicate that your baby is dehydrated or is becoming dehydrated:
• More than six hours without a wet diaper
• Urine that looks darker in his diaper and smells stronger than usual
• Lethargy
• A dry, parched mouth and lips
• No tears while crying

Signs that your baby may be seriously dehydrated: • Sunken eyes
• Hands and feet that feel cold and look splotchy
• Excessive sleepiness or fussiness
• Sunken fontanels (the soft spots on your baby's head)
