Hello
The white or pinkish-orange crystals in urine are often urates. In small amounts, they can be normal in newborns and infants, especially if the baby is slightly dehydrated.
What to do: Ensure your baby is having at least 5–6 wet diapers/day.
Offer feeds more frequently during hot weather or dry environments.
If the crystals persist or you see blood or baby appears drowsy/lethargic, please consult in person to rule out dehydration or UTI.
Next Steps
At 3 months, babies start getting visually curious. They can get distracted by light, faces, or sounds. This is a normal developmental stage.
Tips: Try feeding in a quiet, dim-lit room.
Reduce visual/auditory distractions.
Feed when baby shows early hunger cues (lip smacking, rooting) before they get too fussy.
Babies may fuss when not hungry yet, or if they’re overstimulated. Avoid forcing feeds if the baby has fed recently and is otherwise active and gaining weight.
