Trust your instincts

You know your baby best. If you sense something isn't right, contact your baby's doctor — especially if your baby:

• Isn't gaining weight
• Isn't wetting at least six diapers a day
• Isn't having regular bowel movements
• Passes urine that's deep yellow or orange
• Is consistently fussy after feedings
• Seems sleepy all the time
• Has yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes
• Spits up forcefully or more than a small amount at a time

Remember, every baby is unique and so are his or her feeding patterns. If you have questions about your baby's growth and development, talk to your baby's doctor.
