4 Days Old

2020-12-08 12:42:23
Baby 4 days old today is having loose motions. She has done motion for more than 20 times in past 24 hours. Passing with gas many times. Also, earlier she use to cry within every 2 hour because of hunger or after doing toilet/motion till her nappy is changed but now she is sleeping more and crying bit lesser than earlier. Could that be any issue or is it normal?

It appears normal as breastfeed babies pass stools many times.It is called physiological diarrhea. If otherwise OK, need not worry. If blood in stools, lethargy, fever, vomiting, distension of abdomen, consult pediatrician in person
Next Steps
continue breastfeeding vitamin D 400 units daily burping after each feed

Hi, Crying and loose stools are normal. Nothing to worry, these will reduce as the baby grows older. Feed the baby 2 hrly and on demand too.
