Why does my 5-month-old baby urinate so little?

The most common reason for low urine output in a 5-month-old baby is insufficient fluid intake — your baby may not be getting enough breast milk or formula. Babies are expected to wet at least 4-6 diapers daily; drops below this number mean the body is starting to conserve fluids.
Other possible causes: fever, diarrhea or vomiting causing fluid loss, very hot surroundings, or rarely, a kidney-related condition.
If your baby hasn't had a wet diaper for more than 8 hours, cries without tears, has a dry mouth inside, or their soft spot (fontanel) appears sunken — these are signs of dehydration, and you should see a pediatrician the same day.
