Newborn baby not urinating

In fact, the urination and defecation conditions of the newborn can reflect the newborn's diet and the condition of his or her stomach and intestines. Therefore, when taking care of the newborn, parents must carefully observe the urination and defecation conditions of the newborn. However, many parents have reported that their newborns only defecate and rarely urinate. This has also caused parents to worry, is it because the gastrointestinal system of the newborn is not fully developed, so why is the newborn not urinating?

Why does the newborn only poop but not pee?

This situation is for babies who are fed with milk powder. The dosage of milk powder is too concentrated and the proportion of water is too little. It needs to be adjusted according to the dosage on the packaging box. In addition, it is important to feed the baby warm water between meals.

How to arrange the amount of milk powder for newborns

Generally, it is 20-30ml at the beginning, but the specific situation depends on the newborn's appetite, and the amount of milk can be increased slowly. In fact, the baby will stop sucking when he is full, so mothers should not force him. Generally, the feeding amount is marked on the milk powder box. It is best to consume according to what is written above. Use the measuring spoon that comes with it and do not change tools at will.

How to arrange the amount of milk powder for a newborn baby? In the first few days after the baby is born, the amount of milk can be calculated based on the baby's weight per kilogram. 30-60 ml of formula milk should be given every 3-3, 5 hours, and 7-8 times a day.

From one month to two months old, the amount of milk should be gradually increased according to the baby's weight. The baby should be fed 6-7 times a day, with an interval of 3, 5-4 hours between each feeding. Each feeding should be about 80-120 ml, and the maximum amount can be 150 ml.

When feeding an infant exclusively with formula, the amount of formula should be calculated. Here is a simple calculation method: based on the baby's weight, 500 grams of whole milk powder should be supplied for every 1 kilogram of body weight per month. If a baby weighs 6 kilograms, 3000 grams of milk powder should be supplied per month, which is approximately equivalent to 6 bags of commercially available milk powder. It is best to read the product instructions of infant formula carefully to determine the appropriate amount to use each time.

If the baby weighs 3 kg, then 3×150 ml = 450 ml of milk is needed. The total amount is divided by the number of meals to get the amount of milk used in each meal. The total amount is 450-480 ml, divided into 7-8 doses, each dose is 60-70 ml. The proportion will increase in the fifth and sixth months.

From 15 days to one month old, if the digestion is normal, the baby can eat pure milk, nearly 100-150 ml per kilogram of body weight, and about 60-100 ml per meal.
