Babies frequently urinate. The colour and frequency of urine can determine any underlying problem. Read on to know more.
What if my baby urinates
less than 7 times in a day
You should be concerned if your baby
urinates less than 7 times in a 24 hour period. This could signify
that the baby is not getting enough fluids. This point is even more
important if your baby is exclusively breastfed, because it could signify
that she is not getting enough breastmilk. Before you take any drastic
steps (of introducing artificial milk or water), please discuss this issue
with your doctor. He will know your baby and his feeding habits best,
and will be able to advise accordingly.
What if my baby's urine
is yellow
If you already started your baby
on solids, but not yet on water, it could indicate that you need to start
giving water to your baby. If your baby is already on solids, it
could indicate that she is not getting enough fluids, and so you need to
make a concerted effort in increasing her fluid intake. It is also
important that you discuss this issue with your doctor because yellow urine
may indicate other problems (like jaundice, etc) also.

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.
