New born loose motions
My 10 days old new born baby is facing loose motions. He did black potty initially for 4 days and after that yellow potty. He is doing it many time. It's seems to be he is suffering from loose motions. He is mainly doing it after breastfeeding. We are not giving him any formula milk. Is it fine for him to do potty 5 to 7 times a day. He is also suffering from jaundice and we are taking him out for sunlight.
Please suggest.

Hi
The initial days stool will be black in colour due to meconium which is normal
After 3 to4 days we notice transitional stools which will be in yellow to golden yellow in colour
When the baby is exclusively breastfed if baby passes 10 to 12 times a day is normal/ if baby passes once in 1 week is also normal
Next Steps
continue breast feeding
