A. 19 day old baby may pass stools upto 15 times per day. it is completely normal provided baby is on completely breastfeeding. For gas problems burping is very important, do it regularly.

A. Do not worry if the baby poops once in seven days or seven times in one day. This is for the babies who are on breast feed only.The babies till 6 months who are on breast milk only can go without pooping even for 7-8 days. The child may have constipation if the baby is on formula feed or on both breast and formula feed.in such you can change the brand of the formula feed. The mother should include lots of vegetables and fruits like chikoo apple fig fruits green vegetables etc into her diet which will help the baby in passing poop. The color of the poop could be green or brown or yellow etc. Nothing to worry about. The potty should not be watery black or white in colour and should not have blood spots in it . Only in such case rush to the doctor. Rest it's ok.
