1 Answer

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children4 years ago

A. Your baby should be peeing anywhere between six to ten times a day which means the baby is taking feeds properly. If not then make sure the baby is latching and taking feeds well. Also there should be a gradual weight gain. Keep a check on these factors. If required u can consult with your pediatrician and see if a change in formula will help.
