A. this is fine. if the consistency of the stool is normal that is semi solid to solid there is no need to worry about the frequency of the stool. the frequency can vary for 4 to 5 times per day and sometimes the child will not pass stool for few days also. also do no worry about colour and smell of the stool when stool consistency is semisolid to solid. you have to meet the dr only if it is totally watery stool or it is hard stool or the child is having pain while passing the stool.

A. Not in every day but he has at least two days because when you start giving external food little bit of conservation can be seen but 6 to 7 days is quite a lot you should try to give more of liquid so that the digestion is better and that will lead to better pooping and will avoid constipation
