My baby is having more wet diapers than dirty ......is this a problem?

Question

She is 5 weeks old . She had had 3 dirty diapers and 5-6 wet ones. Is this a problem ?? I'm breastfeeding her she used to have 5-6 dirty diapers ( wet as well) and 3 just wet one.

thanks for your help

Answer 1

Thats completely normal. They will be fewer and farther between the older she gets

Answer 2

No, that's normal.

Don't be surprised if, in a few weeks, she goes down to 1 dirty diaper a day- or even less.  Around 6 weeks, my youngest started pooping only once a week (also breastfed) and he did that until we started solids.  It was nice not having to change so many poopy diapers!

Answer 3

no not at all a problem, my daughter usually only had about 2 poopy diapers a day, as they get older you will see it span out more to about 1 poopy diaper every day or even every other day... both are perfectly normal. Good luck!

Answer 4

No, you'll find that she will have less and less dirty nappies. My baby is breast fed and used to go five days without a dirty nappy but now that she's on solids she goes at least once a day. You will also find that your baby will not have as many dirty nappies when she is teething. It is a good sign that she has alot of wet nppies. If they stop becoming wet then contact your doctor or the hospital asap.
