Loose motion , 15 days old baby girl
Hi Doctor
I got blessed with a baby girl 15 days back and everything was fine with my daughter, since last 6 days her motion frequency is increased and now she is passing stool more than 10-12 times (loose motion , sometime very less in quantity and while passing the gas also she is passing some stool with small sound) .
She is completely breastfeeding only. We checked her weight today and couldn't observe any increase in weight it is still little less than 3kg (2.85).
I want to know if this situation is normal with newborn baby or something that needs to be consulted with a doctor .

Its absolutely normal as long as ur baby is active, passing adequate urine. Its called breastmilk diarrhea and very common in exclusively breastfed babies.
