Question
A 5-month-old baby has been urinating every one and a half hours recently. Is this normal? Even when not sleeping, they might urinate every 20 minutes, while sleeping, it’s about once an hour. What’s going on?
Answer
It is normal for a 5-month-old baby to urinate every one and a half hours. If they drink more fluids, they may urinate more frequently. For babies who are breastfed, it’s best not to give them water, especially during summer when you can slightly increase fluid intake. However, excessive water intake may increase the baby’s kidney burden. The above suggestions are for the question “Why does my 5-month-old baby pee every one and a half hours recently?” I hope this helps and wish you health!
