A. its normal only If baby is active and playful, no fever, passing adequate urine ie. minimum 6-8 times per day, then no need to worry for motion ( once in 7 days or 15 times per day- both conditions normal). Don't give so much importance to motion unless blood in motion or bad smelling motion or white colour motion. Keep ur baby well hydrated Exclusive breast feed ur baby till completing 6months of age. Don't give water and all other food items at this age. Wait for some more days Everything will be alright. If blood in motion/persistant foul smelling motion or less urine output then consult with ur nearest pediatrician,s He will giude you in a better way

A. hello the frequency of the motion is normal than it is usually not a problem and nothing to worry since the growth of the child is also good but if the frequency is more than it would be better to check with your doctor and would be safe
