Final answer:
In the first 3-4 days of life, a normal range for wet diapers is around 2-3 per day. After the first week, a healthy neonate should start gaining weight at a rate of up to 20 g (0.7 oz) per day.
Step-by-step explanation:
The normal range for wet diapers in the first 3-4 days of life is around 2-3 wet diapers per day. This decrease in wet diapers is due to the neonate resorbing and urinating the fluid that initially fills the lungs. It is also normal for feeding to take a few days to become well established.
After the first week, a healthy neonate should start gaining weight at a rate of up to 20 g (0.7 oz) per day.
