Hi
In newborns even 10 to 15 stool per dya is considered normal.Make sure breastfeeding is continued..Every time after feed also baby can pass stools due to Gastrocolic reflux which is very normal..Not to worry unless until weightloss or black or red stools please consult in person
Next Steps
make sure to continue breast feed

Be sure that you are breast feeding the baby
If you are giving baby any top feed (except formula) eg: cow or buffalo milk then immediately, stop that.
