Hi,

My newborn is 3 weeks old. Other things are fine, he is feeding both BM and formula milk as suppliment. However I have noticed that he passes urine too many times in a day something like 20-25 times. Is this OK ? Please advice.

Thanks in advance

if at all the frequency has increased in a day or so and is not regular,,thn your baby needs to be seen by your dr. when it comes to infants, below 3months, dont wait to check with neone !
get your baby checkedup first....its not a worth to discuss about 3weeks infant when it comes to high bladder frequency...
other signs are:
1. if your baby cries while urinating,,thn he needs to be seen by your dr.
2. if your baby has dry mouth even after regular feeds or frequent feed,,your baby is dehydrated.
3.one of the cause is uriniary infection, but in that the colour of urine will be darker,,so check his diaper.
4. once a while overstimulation of bladder muscles or overactive bladder is okay,,but if it stays more than 2 days,,your baby needs to see your dr.
5.calm your baby,,sometimes overstimulation of body muscles(which is normal from 1moonth onwards),,causes overactive bladder...soothe him with light music,,and relax him,,give him massages and see if that effects his frequency,,,keep the lights dim around your baby,,too much of light before 3months of age,,causes overstimulation in baby activities,,and thus might cause overactive bladder..
watch his freequency, stools and ne discomforts,,check for his temperatures,,breastfeed him more often to keep him well hydrated or offer him lil amts of formula more often thn his regular feeds...
