A. It's normal for newborn babies—especially those who are exclusively breastfed—to pass stool multiple times a day. Some babies can pass small amounts of stool after every feed, which can easily be 8–12 times or more in 24 hours. Here’s a breakdown of what's normal and what to watch for: ✅ What’s Normal: Frequency: Up to 10–20 times a day in small amounts is common in the first few weeks. Consistency: Mustard yellow, watery or seedy stools. Smell: Mild or slightly sour. Weight Gain: Baby is feeding well and gaining weight. No signs of dehydration: Like dry mouth, sunken eyes, or fewer wet diapers. 📅 How long does this last? This frequent stooling usually starts to reduce by 4–6 weeks of age. Some breastfed babies might then start passing stool only once in a few days, which is also normal if the baby is active and feeding well. ⚠️ When to see a doctor: Stool is green and frothy consistently. Baby has mucus or blood in stool. Baby seems irritated, in pain, or refuses to feed. Signs of dehydration (less than 6 wet diapers/day after day 5 of life). Baby is not gaining weight or losing weight. If your newborn is less than a month old, passing small amounts of yellow stool 20+ times a day, feeding well, and is active—it is usually normal. But if you’re unsure or the stool is watery (like diarrhea), it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any digestive issues or infections. Would you like to tell me the baby’s age and whether she is breastfed or formula-fed? I can give you a more specific answer.
