Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Babies as such may pass more number of motions in first few days of life. Normal range can be 8 times a day yo once in 4-5 days. Provided baby is calm, not irritable, no fever, active , no rash around anus, and taking feed every 2-3 hours you need not worry.
Next Steps
As baby is just neonate, do not take a chance and better yo consult pediatrician in person.
