Question
A 40-day-old baby urinates 3-4 times consecutively at fixed times every day, while urinating once every 3 hours at other times. The feeding and drinking schedules are not fixed. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
If the feeding and drinking times are not fixed, the baby’s urination schedule may also be irregular, which is a normal phenomenon. This could be due to the baby’s physiological decrease in dietary intake or indigestion. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, cultivate the habit of feeding at fixed times. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a regular diet, and pay attention to calcium supplementation after the baby is one month old.
