Children passing stool once in two or three days is normal as long as it is soft. Mothers should drink a glass of water before giving feeding not only improve milk amount and also prevent exhaustion of mother after feeding.
Next Steps
Try to burp after every feed.
Health Tips
Always make the baby to drink for at least 15-20 minutes per feeding and 2nd hourly.
