Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Passing urine 4 to 5 times in your child is normal.

Weight gain is good.

If the child is active, healthy, and passing normal urine without concentrated, nothing to worry.

If the child cries while passing urine it is suggestive of concentrated urine and requires more feeds with appropriate dilution.

Exclusive breastfeeding is the best method of feeding till the age of 6 months.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
