A. For an 11-day-old newborn, having 10 to 11 bowel movements per day can be normal, especially if they are breastfeeding. Here are some points to consider: 1. Frequency: Normal Range: It's common for breastfed infants to have multiple bowel movements daily, sometimes even after every feeding. Formula-fed babies may have fewer. 2. Color and Consistency: Yellow or Green Stools: Yellow is typical for breastfed babies, while green stools can occur but may also indicate foremilk/hindmilk imbalance or a change in diet if the mother has eaten certain foods. Consistency: Stools should generally be loose and seedy in texture for breastfed babies. 3. Signs of Concern: Dehydration: Watch for signs of dehydration (such as fewer wet diapers). Foul Smell or Blood: If the stools have a very foul smell, or if there is blood or mucus in the stool, consult your pediatrician. 4. Consult Your Pediatrician: If you have concerns about your baby's bowel movements, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your pediatrician for reassurance and guidance. Overall, as long as your baby is feeding well, gaining weight, and appears content, the frequency and color of her stools can be normal.
