Get medical attention if you notice any of the following:

• Your baby is not interested in feeding or is too sleepy to feed at least eight times per day.
  

• Your baby is not wetting their diaper at least two times per day in the first week, or five times per day after the first week.

• Your baby doesn't have at least one greenish brown stool during the first three days, or at least two dirty diapers after four days of age.

• Your baby cries all the time and can't be comforted.

• The white parts of your baby's eyes start to look a little yellow.

If your baby has a fever of 38°C (100°F) or more, call your doctor or midwife right away or go to the emergency department.
