Hello,
I would recommend a repeat urine routine examination and a pelvic and kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) scan to rule out any anatomical defect. Adequate hydration should be maintained. Give boiled and cooled water to the baby in warm-season about four to five ounces per day. You can always change the amount depending on the feeding of the baby.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
