Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but do not worry. You may discuss with us the detailed condition of the baby including his heart condition. Many babies take upto 48 hours to pass first urine. In case he doesn't pass urine even after 48 hours then urinary obstruction such as posterior urethral valve or pelviureteric obstruction needs to be ruled out.
Take care
