What is loose stool in babies

2018-11-12 04:34:16
Hi my baby is only 20 days old. She has only been passing loose stools for 5 to 6 times in a day, since the day she is born. Is it common for such small babies to pass loose stools or should I show it to some doctor for proper treatment?

If your baby is on exclusive breastfeed, no treatment required. Look for weight gain. If your baby has gained 100-200 GMs since birth then it’s normal. On breastfeeding babies do pass 5-10 stools per day.
