Yes normal from what you described. 10-12 times a day or once in 7 days. Can be yellow, green, brown or mild black also. All this is normal. Only water or blood in stool is a problem

Yes. It's normal. Child will pass stools post feeds. This is known as gastro colic reflex. You should be worried if these lose motions are associated with signs of dehydration like decreased urine output, lethargy or refusal to feed. But since these are absent, you need not worry. If you found this consultation helpful do give your feedback. Thank you. Dr Aditi Birje MD PEDIATRICS KEM HOSPITAL MUMBAI SHREE GURUMAAULI CLINIC YOGI NAGAR BORIVALI WEST MUMBAI
