You’ve seen those jugs of distilled water in the grocery store, but you may not know exactly what it is or its usage. When water is distilled, it is heated to boiling, vaporized, cooled, condensed and collected in a way that keeps impurities from being reintroduced.¹

Dehydration can be serious, so know the signs that your toddler doesn’t have as much fluid in his body as he needs. They include lethargy, dry mouth and lips, no tears while crying, urine that’s darker and stronger smelling than usual, or more than six hours without a wet diaper. Symptoms of serious dehydration include sunken eyes, cold and splotchy hands and feet, lightheadedness, dizziness or delirium, or excessive fussiness or sleepiness. If you think his dehydration is serious, take him to the emergency room immediately. If you’re concerned but not sure it’s serious, call your pediatrician and follow his instructions.

Have you noticed a bluish cast to your baby’s skin? If just her hands or feet are blue for short periods of time, it’s probably nothing more than a sign of immature circulation. But if her whole body is blue, especially areas with a lot of blood flow such as the lips, tongue, vagina or scrotum, her blood may not be getting enough oxygen. Don’t take chances – contact your pediatrician immediately.
