POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. For a 2-week-old baby, it is normal for them to have several bowel movements a day, especially if they are breastfed. Newborns can pass stool 3 to 4 times or more in a day. The stools can vary in consistency, but breastfed babies typically have soft, yellowish stools.
Loose motions (diarrhea) in newborns are concerning if the stools are watery, frequent (more than 10-12 times a day), or accompanied by signs of dehydration (such as fewer wet diapers, a dry mouth, or lethargy). If the baby has persistent diarrhea, especially if it's green or contains blood, or if they are not feeding well, it's important to consult a pediatrician immediately to rule out infections or other medical concerns.
