Sign Of Dehydration In Toddlers #4: Dry Skin
Our skin is usually soft and elastic. This helps to keep it flexible which, in turn, helps to protect it against damage. The skin of toddlers tends to be even softer than that of adults. Therefore, dry and wrinkly skin in toddlers is a sign that they may be dehydrated.
Dry and wrinkly skin could be caused by a wide range of things. Most are likely to be quite harmless but can still be very irritating to a young child. It is probably a good idea to get it checked out and make sure the child has access to plenty of fluids in the meantime.
