My baby girl is 6 days old and she goes through 8-9 diapers a day mostly pee is this normal.?

Question

she is on breast milk..

Answer 1

Very normal. A fully breastfed baby should have at least 5-6 very wet diapers a day. (If you're not sure what "very wet" is, take a clean diaper, put in about 2 T. of water, and weigh it in your hands. That's "very wet". As baby grows older, the 5-6 rule still applies, but each one should have at least 4 T. each.)

Answer 2

This is COMPLETELY normal. She should have at least 8 wet diapers per day. Any less than that and it's a sign of dehydration. Breast milk will also make her pee and poo a little more often than formula-fed babies.

Answer 3

with an infant it is normal to have around 10 diapers a day (stock up)....seeing this while breast feeding should be reassuring to you that your little one is getting plenty of milk since you cant tell exactly how much they are drinking like bottle fed babies. mine at that age went through 10-15 a day since she couldnt stand to have the slightest bit of a dirty diaper. it gets better the older they get.

congrats on the little one

Answer 9

Absolutley, I lost track of the amount of nappy changes I had to do with my baby! But don't worry, eventually the amount will decrease, but you'll have to wait a few months-sorry! :)
But congratulations on your new born, I wish you all the best for now and the future
