Duration of urination
I am unable to understand the urination pattern of my son who is just 7 days old. On 4th day of his birth he was put on drip for not urinating enough. After that till yesterday he was passing urine around 6-8 times in a day. But today after 8am in the morning, it has been around 6 hours that he has not urinated. He is being fed by his mother timely. Please advise.
