1 every 6hr or more: At that age i expect kids to pee at least a little every 4-6 hrs. It can be less than normal but at least every 6. If u put a square of toilet tissue in the diaper you can detect small amounts u might not feel on a diaper check.

6-8 wet diapers : To the emergency room if lethargic, not playful not drinking at all or sick looking.If your baby is acting normal, you may have to offer him more frequent feedings every hour, he should start having wet diapers
