my 4 month old son unites very frequently. Like 7 to 8 times between feeds (2 hrly). this is not always and on an average its 4 times btw feeds.He looks perfectly fine, feeding fine, passes motion once in 4 days. though recently the quantitiy seems little less. his weith is on lower side, birth weight 2.7 and was 4.2 at 3 months.
Thanks for expressing your concern on Chat Doctor. Your 4-month-old son seems to be doing fine, and I do not see a cause of concern. The frequency of passing urine indicates whether the child is getting adequate feeds. So, frequent passage of urine is a good sign and not a cause of concern. In this context, I assume that the baby is breastfed and does not receive any other formula feed or water. If that is not the case, I would insist on placing the preference on breast milk if there is a scope. The child does not need to be given water anyway. Passage of stool may be taken to be normal irrespective of whether it occurs 10 times a day or once every 10 days. Periodically the weight needs to be measured and plotted on a chart to see whether the growth is adequate. There is no cause to be concerned if the pediatrician tells you that although the weight is on a lower gentile it is growing at appropriate rate.
