As long as she is eating well, growing well, and having at least 6 wet (urine) diapers a day, you are in good shape. Just watch out for diaper rash from frequent bowel movements. If your child starts acting ill, develops a fever, if you notice blood in her stool or if she stops eating well, call her doctor right away.
