A baby who is feeding well usually feeds at least 8 times in 24 hours. Talk to your midwife or health visitor if your baby has fewer feeds or nappies than this, or seems very sleepy.
When to get help straight away
Call 999 or go to A&E if your baby hasn’t had a wet nappy for 12 hours, is floppy or hard to wake, isn’t feeding, or has a weak, high-pitched cry. For advice, call NHS 111.
