A member asked:

2 day old baby has only peed twice in 12hrs is this normal? she also hasnt had a bowel movement in 24hrs, is this normal? or should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Does she seem OK?: How is she eating? In babies (and everyone else) the amount of urine produced in largely related to how much we drink. Encouraging her to drink more milk will likely increase her urine output. Twice in twelve hours is probably okay, but it is on the low side and i would be attentive to her oral intake. If she had bowel movements yesterday and her stomach seems okay, i would not worry about bms.
