Labor & delivery

Excretion
Stool: The first stools your baby produces look dark green to black and are very sticky like tar. This is called meconium.

Urine: Your newborn’s first urine will be dark amber. A newborn should have at least one wet diaper in the first 24 hours. Once your baby begins frequent feedings you should see about 6-8 wet diapers within the first week of life.
