Brief Answer:
This is a normal thing - do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi... what you are saying is quite normal phenomenon in normal babies.

When ever you feed the baby as the pressure in the abdominal compartment rises, it will make the bladder contract and the urine is passed. This is a physiological and normal finding. Please do not worry.

Brief Answer:
This I have already mentioned in our initial interaction please

Detailed Answer:
Hi....You are exactly right. Actually if you remember, I have already suggested this possibility in our previous interaction when you first pointed out about her frequent urination.

In lower environmental temperature, this is a normal finding. Please do not worry.
