Question

Is it normal for a newborn’s urine to be discolored yellow?

Answer

A newborn’s urine may appear yellow due to insufficient water intake, dry climate, or use of air conditioning. If they are in an air-conditioned environment for a prolonged period, it may lead to water loss, so it’s important to provide timely water supplementation to newborns, encouraging them to drink more plain water. For newborns fed formula, water can be added between feedings, or a milk partner can be added to cool down the baby. If the newborn is breastfed, the mother’s diet should be light and healthy.
