Patient's question:
A 40-day-old baby needs to urinate continuously 3-4 times at fixed times every day, while at other times, they urinate normally every 3 hours. The timing of breastfeeding and drinking water is not fixed. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
If the time for breastfeeding, drinking water, and eating are not fixed, the frequency of urination may also be irregular. This is a normal phenomenon. It could be due to a physiological decrease in the baby's appetite or indigestion. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, establish a fixed feeding schedule, and develop a routine. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain a regular diet. After the baby is one month old, it is important to supplement with calcium.
