Question
If a newborn urinates more than six times a day, does it mean they are getting enough milk?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, if an infant urinates more than six times a day, it may not indicate that they are sufficiently fed but could be a sign of urethritis, characterized by frequent, urgent, and painful urination. It is recommended to undergo a routine urine test to assist in diagnosis. Once diagnosed with urethritis, ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin can be used for treatment, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided. Drinking plenty of water may help improve symptoms.
