Passage of 6-8 stools/day during the neonatal period is absolutely normal. After each feed, the baby passes stool.
During feeding the baby may swallow air & that’s why sounds may occur during passing stool.
Next Steps
Provide direct breast feeding till 6 months
Encourage more feeds
Health Tips
Don’t encourage bottle feeds
Too many episodes of loose stools may lead to dehydration.
