Brief Answer:
It is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for asking on HealthCareMagic.

The frequency of passage of urine indicates good hydration and that the amount of feeds is adequate. Let me assure you that for infants passing urine 15 to 20 times per day is normal and there is nothing to worry about. If the amount is very less and it recurs soon after, I would consider that normal too. I feel passing urine every 10 mins is a bit of exaggeration which would amount to 72 times a day which is absurd.

Anyway, even if the child is passing urine 20-25 times a day (which can be assumed to be quite frequent), you simply need not be bothered and nothing needs to be done about it.
