It is normal for a baby to pass up to 7 stools per day...so dont be worried. Feed the baby as many times as needed...follow on demand feeding. If the baby is sleeping for at least 2 hours after the feed, passing urine 6-8 times per day, having enough weight gain indicates that child is having sufficient milk..

Hi,
If baby is gaining weight adequately adequately, then your milk is sufficient.
Apply coconut oil around umbilicus and massage in a circular pattern daily to reduce stomach pain
