Breastfed baby not peeing?!

Question

Due to unforeseen circumstances I ended up in the ICU after delivering my baby boy. He was bottle fed for the first 24 hours of his life until I met him. Over the next 24 hours I exclusively breast fed and baby is pooping away, but not peeing.
Any thoughts, ideas or experiences?
Do breast fed babies pee less?
I've topped him off with a bottle then he peed.

Answer

Sounds like your milk isn’t in yet. In the hospital for the first 24-48 hours they won’t pee much because it’s just colostrum. But once your milk comes in he should be peeing and or pooping with every feeding or diaper change. My son wouldn’t pee after his circumcision and the nurse took all his clothes off and his diaper and let him sit for a minute and he peed all over the place.

Answer

Unlikely pooping enough but not peeing? I know it took like a week for mine to have really wet diapers

Answer

Has your milk came in?
