This is important information for tracking a newborn's feeding and hydration, and you deserve an answer grounded in the specific data rather than the general principle this source covers.\n\nI'd recommend checking with your pediatrician or midwife at your newborn's first check-ins—they'll have age-specific wet diaper benchmarks and can assess your baby directly. La Leche League and the American Academy of Pediatrics also publish detailed day-by-day expectations for newborn output that would be much more useful for what you're tracking.","sources":"[{\"pmid\":\"26074371\",\"title\":\"The voiding pattern in healthy pre- and term infants and toddlers: a literature review.\",\"journal\":\"European journal of pediatrics\",\"year\":\"2015\",\"url\":\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26074371/\",\"score\":0.74}]","thread_json":null,"topic":"jaundice-newborn","view_count":0,"created_at":"2026-10-26T23:00:57.737Z"}
