If the baby is active, passing urine 6 times a day and feeding, there is nothing to be worried about. Is it breast fed or formula fed? What is the weight now and before the frequent stools? No need to give medicines if breast fed and no weight loss

Neonates pass multiple episodes of semisolid stool. Usually they have increased intestine movements. That's normal for the breastfed baby.
Next Steps
seek medical attention if child stool is watery  or blood mixed and if abdomen is bloated
Health Tips
continue breastfeeding

4 day old baby will pass stool every 2 hours after the feed. It's normal, unless the baby is irritable, crying or stomach is bloated
