Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child.
A baby should pass urine at least 6 times a day and if the baby is not passing urine 6 times a day then the baby might be getting inadequate feed.
You should feed the baby more regularly.
A baby may pass stool 4 to 5 times a day or may pass stool only once in 5 to 6 days. Both these things are normal.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
I find this answer helpful
