Most newborns need a diaper change every 2–3 hours—around 8–12 times daily—with an immediate change after any bowel movement.

For a formula-fed newborn, expect 1 wet diaper on day 1, 2 on day 2, 3 on day 3, then 6 or more each day from day 5.

On day 1, most newborns pass at least one wet diaper; one to two is normal as intake is small.

Featured Snippet: Newborns use about 600–1,700 baby wipes per month, based on 8–12 daily changes with 1–2 wipes for wet diapers and 3–5 for stool.

Newborns can see from birth, though blurry; by 6–8 weeks most fix on faces, and by 12 weeks steady tracking improves.

Newborns can see from birth; clearer face tracking usually appears by 6–8 weeks and keeps sharpening through the first 12 weeks of life.

Most newborns eat 8–12 times daily; bottles start at 1–2 oz in week 1 and reach 3–4 oz by 1 month (cap ~32 oz/day), while breastfed babies feed on demand.

Most newborns need a change before the longest stretch and at every night feed; add an extra change only for poop or a fully soaked diaper.

One vaccine at birth: the hepatitis B (HepB) shot within 12–24 hours, with more routine infant vaccines starting at age 2 months in the U.S.

Newborn poop frequency ranges from several times daily to once every few days, with breastfed babies stooling more often early on.
