It’s quiet normal to poop after every feed. That’s gastric colic reflex. Don’t worry.

Continue breast feeds. Demand feeds always better.

If the consistency of the poop is normal there is nothing to worry. Infants can sometimes even 7-8 times because of gastrocolic reflex.
Next Steps
breastfed the baby every 2 hourly.
