At this age,the number of motions is not important,which may vary from 10-12 per day OR passing a motion after 3-4 days.
What's important is the consistency of stools,which should be soft and formed.
If baby's active physically and feeding normally,without vomiting or abdominal distension,RELAX.
Just ensure breastfeeding at a gap of atleast 2 to 2-1/2 hours,and maintain strict hygiene.
Do NOT give any medicine.
