The Moon may not be visible during the day of the New Moon, when it is in the sky during the daytime. The side facing Earth will be almost totally non-illuminated because the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth. However, it may be visible shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset as a very narrow crescent.

How many days of the month can you not see the moon?

You can't see the moon during the 12 to 30 hours before and after the New Moon. So that's anywhere from 1 to 2-1/2 days during the month, depending on the exact angle of the ecliptic to the horizon, and the moon's orbital inclination relative to the ecliptic. (Those things change from month to month.)

How much does the moon wobble up and down?

The apparent wobbling by the Moon is called "libration"; you can find more information, for example, in the Wikipedia article on "Libration". The Moon doesn't really wobble; rather, from Earth we sometimes see different parts of the Moon, because (a) sometimes we see it more from the north, sometimes more from the south (since the Moon's axis is not exactly perpendicular to its orbit around Earth), and (b) since the Moon's orbit isn't exactly circular, but it rotates at a constant angular speed, as a result we sometimes see a bit more of the Moon's east side, and sometimes more of its western side. In total, we can see about 59% of the Moon's surface from Earth (at different times).
