1st wk; # of diapers should be = age in days of life
Exp: day 1 would be minimum wet diaper 1 and 2nd day 2 and 3rd day 3 would be 3….
After the 1st wk -> more than six. (But in 4-8wk) probably 4-6 gone be wet.
1st pee usually in 1st day/24h of life u may see “brick dust” (uric acid crystals)/benign.

During the first few days of life, a newborn may only have one or two wet diapers per day. However, by the end of the first week, they should have at least 6 wet diapers a day.
