Yes, 5 to 6 urinations (wet diapers) a day is a normal and healthy frequency for a 7-day-old baby, indicating adequate hydration.
Babies of this age typically have at least 6 to 8 wet diapers in a 24-hour period, but the frequency you observe is healthy and expected at this stage.

Since your baby had pelviectasis , a repeat ultrasound after birth is recommended. Passing urine 6-7 times a day is normal. He/ she can even urinate 8-10 times a day. The whole idea for USG is to detect anomaly at early stages so as to initiate early treatment. Many times babies are otherwise fine but there is underlying anomaly which causes complications later on in life. You should go for an ultrasound.
