It can be normal especially if the baby is on exclusive breast feeding( nothing except mother's milk).
Next Steps
visit a Pediatrician for confirmation.
Health Tips
if he is passing urine atleast 6 times in 24 hours, gaining weight; and there are no other features like excessive irritability, abdominal distension etc, possibility of this condition being normal is quite high.

9 days is a bit long. Please visit a pediatrician for check up and treatment. There is nothing that can be done at home in such a small baby
