This is perfectly normal
by: Baby Help Line (Brandi)

Hello,

This is actually a sign of a well hydrated, well taken care of baby with a healthy bladder. Good Job! The baby hasn't really learned how to control their bladder yet by this age and they will go a lot. I know it means extra work for you but it's a good sign. Unless your baby stops peeing there is no problem!

Not a urinary tract infection unless...
by: Paula (Baby Help Line)

Hi,

I guess one worry that might come to mind when a baby urinates very often is if he or she might be suffering from a urinary tract infection (UTI).

However, the symptoms of UTI are not exactly the same for an infant as for an adult. Adults often pee a lot and it is painful. For babies, one of the most common symptom of UTI is an unexplained fever. In addition, the baby may be crying while peeing, the urine may be smelly, there could be spots of blood in the urine and the child may be fussy and even vomit and refuse to eat.

Not all babies have a fever, though. Some times, smelly urine and a fussy baby, for example, can be the only symptoms.

So as you can see, passing urine often is not one of the most common symptoms of a urinary tract infection in babies.

You can find a lot more questions and answers regarding babies' urination here.

Hope this helps,

Paula
