How many times a day does an eight month old baby urinate

For newborns, because their organs are not fully developed and their control over their own bodies is relatively weak, their bowel movements are uncontrolled. Although it is troublesome to deal with the baby's urination or defecation, many parents do not feel annoyed, because seeing the baby healthy is the most gratifying thing. So the question is, how many times a day does the baby urinate?

Newborns generally urinate within 24 hours after birth, but some babies may delay urination until about 36 hours after birth.

Generally speaking, babies in the first three days after birth have very little urine, which is sometimes mixed with meconium in the diaper and is indeed easy to be ignored by mothers. Therefore, Junjun has summarized the amount and frequency of baby's urine in different periods for mothers.

However, due to factors such as age and fluid intake, the frequency of urination varies greatly from baby to baby, and there is no exact uniform standard. So mothers can refer to the following table to roughly compare the urination situation of our baby!

What does the color and smell of urine mean?

In addition to the frequency of urination, color and smell are also important indicators of the baby's health.

Freshly excreted urine from a baby has no special smell, but after being exposed to the air for a while, the urea decomposes and releases ammonia, which then produces a slight odor.

If your baby's urine suddenly has a distinct odor, it may be due to low fluid intake or low sweating. At this time, the mother can let the baby increase the amount of milk or water he drinks appropriately, and then observe the baby. If there is still no obvious improvement, you should seek medical attention in time to rule out the early manifestations of certain diseases.

As for the color of urine, under normal circumstances, the baby's urine is colorless and transparent or light yellow. However, if the baby drinks more milk (water) and sweats less, the color of the urine will be relatively lighter, otherwise the color will be darker.
