Major Symptoms Of Pyloric Stenosis

Dehydration

The inability to keep food in their body can lead to dehydration. A baby who is dehydrated is both sleepy and irritable. They are always thirsty, and when a parent touches them, they will find their skin is less supple than it should be. If they still have a fontanel, which is the soft spot in the head, it will look like it has shrunk. This shrunken appearance will also be seen in the eyes, and the eyes may be dry. The baby’s mouth may also be dry. Another way to tell if the baby is dehydrated is to notice their diapers. The number of wet diapers will decrease from what it was before or from what is considered normal.
