A member asked:
My 5 days old baby is having loose motions (passed stool 12 times in the last 24 hrs). what should we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is normal: It is normal for newborns to poop every single time something touches their lips. So if baby feeding, sucks on a pacifier, etc, they may pas a stool with it. It's actually a good sign they are feeding well already. Nothing to fear, this is totally normal.
