POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. For a five-month-old baby, passing stool 5 to 10 times a day can be normal, especially if they are breastfed. Breastfed babies often have frequent, soft, or even loose stools because breast milk is easily digested. As long as the stools are soft (not watery), the baby is gaining weight well, feeding normally, and not showing signs of discomfort or dehydration, this frequency is usually not a problem. However, if the stools are very watery, contain mucus or blood, have a strong foul smell, or if your baby seems irritable, has a fever, or shows signs of dehydration, you should consult your pediatrician to rule out any infections or digestive issues.
