Hi, my newborn daughter is 10 days old. I hv been visiting her pedi . Her paeditricion advised that its normal is she poops 10 times a day or she does poop for 10 days.
My concern is she passes lil poop everytime she passes fart. She is pooping 7/8 times a day and her poop is slightly runny and mix of green and yellow.

Yes normal from what you described.
10-12 times a day or once in 7 days. Can be yellow, green, brown or mild black also. All this is normal.
Only water or blood in stool is a problem
Yes. It's normal. Child will pass stools post feeds. This is known as gastro colic reflex. You should be worried if these lose motions are associated with signs of dehydration like decreased urine output, lethargy or refusal to feed. But since these are absent, you need not worry. If you found this consultation helpful do give your feedback. Thank you.
