My Baby and Urine Frequency

by Anonymous

How much does my baby urinate in 3 hours?

Baby Help Line Response:

Hi!

That's hard to tell and varies with the age of the baby and individually. For newborn babies, a rule of thumb is that they should produce 6-8 heavy diapers per 24 hours. Since such young babies have very small bladders, it probably means that they will pee one to a few times per hour.

Older babies are likely to pee less often, since they both have larger bladders and eat solid foods.

If your baby's pee is pale yellow and doesn't have a strong smell, he or she is likely to pee enough.
