Babies frequently pass urine. Some babies may pass more and some less, there is no set rule for this. Here is a guide on number of times babies pass urine.
How many times is it
normal for a baby to urinate
There is no set number of times that
babies pass urine. Some babies pass urine 12-15 times a day (or even
more), others pass urine only 8 times a day. As newborns, they pass
urine much more frequently. As babies get older, they urinate fewer
times in a day, but tend to pass a lot more urine each time.
Can the urine flow
tell me if my baby is getting enough fluids
Yes. Whether the baby is breastfed
or bottlefed, as long as she passes urine atleast 7-8 times in a 24-hour
period, the baby is considered to be getting enough fluids (or enough milk,
in the case of exclusively breastfed babies). If the baby starts
passing urine fewer times, then you should consult your doctor for advise.
Can I tell when my
baby is most likely to urinate
Babies have their own schedules.
Some babies pass urine within a couple of minutes of feeding, others wait
for 5-10 minutes. In general, however, babies are most likely to
pass urine some time soon after feeding. So if you would like to
know when you will definitely have to change her nappy, this is the time.

in case of more urine, have you enhanced the amount of sugar in baby's diet. if not i think wait for a day and you should contact doctor.
