Loose Motion
I have 4 day baby and she passes stool frequently after feeding.
Since today morning she has passed 3-4 times yellow motion. Pic attached.
Is there any medicine to give?
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
