To respond to Denise Hewson's query re output during the first few days. The
criteria at my hospital is one or more urines per day for the first 5 days,
then more that that.  BM's need to have completely changed by that magic 5
days, from the typical meconium to typical breast milk stools.  We tell
parents that it needs to be a lot of volume or a lot of frequency, or both.
 Less indicates lack of intake, hence a problem and they are instructed to
call their ped provider.  I hope that this info helps.
