Frequent urination of 7 months old baby.

Frequent urination in a 7-month-old baby, especially more than 20 times a day, can be within the normal range if the baby is otherwise healthy, active, gaining weight appropriately, and has no signs of discomfort or dehydration. Breastfed babies often pass urine more frequently due to good hydration. However, it is important to observe: Whether the urine is clear and not foul-smelling If the baby has any fever, vomiting, irritability, or poor weight gain Any signs of excessive thirst or poor feeding You are giving breast milk 5–6 times a day and some solids with a small amount of water, which is fine for this age. Rainy or cool weather can sometimes reduce sweating and increase urine output too. Since you had gestational diabetes, it is good to be cautious. There’s a very small chance of increased urine frequency being related to underlying issues like infantile diabetes or a urinary tract infection (UTI), though these are rare.

Monitor for any other symptoms as listed above. Get a urine routine examination done to rule out infection. Visit your pediatrician if the frequency continues to be unusually high or you notice any other concerns.

Hello Frequent urination can be normal at this age, especially if your baby is active, feeding well, gaining weight, and not showing any signs of illness. We will keep a close watch and may suggest a few tests if it continues or if any symptoms develop Babies of diabetic mothers (IDM) may be at higher risk of: Neonatal hypoglycemia (usually early, not at 7 months). Later-onset glucose intolerance, but this is rare in infancy. Renal anomalies (screened at birth if suspected). However, at 7 months, maternal GDM is less likely to cause polyuria unless the baby has developed: Diabetes mellitus (rare at this age; screen if suspicious). Renal tubular disorders (e.g. Fanconi syndrome—would have other symptoms). Babies typically pass urine 6–20 times/day. Frequency can vary depending on hydration, feeding, and ambient temperature. Possible Causes of Increased Frequency: High fluid intake (breastfeeding/formula). Immature bladder in infants—common and often benign. Diaper-check anxiety (parents may interpret small voids as frequent urination). Less commonly: UTI, polyuria due to hyperglycemia or renal causes.

Red flags: Poor weight gain or lethargy Persistent excessive thirst (polydipsia) Fever or foul-smelling urine Poor feeding or vomiting Weight loss

Don't worry it is normal in most of the babies But just do a simple urine test to check any urine infection

Monitor diaper count: If output is clear/light yellow and baby is active, feeding well, and gaining weight—this is likely physiological. • If still concerned, you can do a urine routine test to rule out any glycosuria or infection. • Optional: Blood sugar or renal function tests if there are other signs or a history of poorly controlled gestational diabetes.
