Something Wrong with my Baby -Parents With Experience Needed

Dillinger! Thank you so much for the info and helping out too. And definitely thankful for the info and links!!!! You saved me a ton of time. i was just sitting down to research. And as a matter of fact I have started a food diary for the exact same reasons you mentioned! I will add his moods and behavior from meal to meal time.

Hi. You are right to be concerned. A finger prick test might be worth doing but not easy with a small baby; also you could try Ketostix for the urine. These are things the GP/nurse could do if you can convince them you think diabetes is posisble.

I might just try to prick on the baby's heal. the pharmacist mentioned finger too small or hard to get at. Then this way if it was a very, very, very bad stage and not health, doctors wont completely discredit me if ever I have problems in future. But yeah like I said the breath made me get serious about leaving no stone unturned. Trying to get a pee sample for our ketostix while running bath. Now that I need that pee he won't pee at water sound. lol He used to always pee o my floor at bath time.. Murphey's law lol
 
LOL Amen to the internet comment! It's true, thus the reason I called the health line. I even told her I didn't want to use googles worst case scenarios if it was being hyped up in articles I read. I learned not to look up certain things about my baby and just use old fashioned mama common sense, because google brings up some terrible things when all you're looking up is teething fever or baby sweating.. You get articles about SIDS etc. :-/

But you did prove a point for a great amount of people. If someone feels something is wrong it shouldn't be shut down by docs with a simple wave of the hand.
 
Thank you everyone that answered me!!!! I got more response and amazing help and suggestions than I expected! So I will keep it at that and I will come back to let everyone know the outcome once we finally get to a pediatrician. So I may not reply or will be slow to respond. But hoping this may help other parents in same canoodle in the meantime.. Tons of awesome people replied with excellent input!

(not really a forum person so I have some responses to people comments but I removed the quote tags not realizing it removed who the comments were responding to! DOH hoping you all got my responses though) Can I blame lack of sleep? :-/
