A urine frequency of around 20 times/day is higher than usual, but it does not always indicate a problem. At this age, the important thing is whether the baby is passing large amounts of urine or just small amounts frequently.
If your baby is feeding well, active, gaining weight, and has no fever, foul-smelling urine, crying while passing urine, vomiting, or excessive thirst, you can observe for the next 24–48 hours.
However, if this frequent urination continues for more than 2–3 days, or if any of the above symptoms develop, please consult your pediatrician. We may advise a urine routine and urine culture to rule out a urinary infection and, if needed, a few additional tests.
Meanwhile, continue breastfeeding and complementary feeding as usual. There is no need to stop giving the small sips of water with meals.
