My breastfed 2 weeks old son is pooping 5 to 6 times a day in which he poops 1 or 2 times in light yellow color instead of dark yellow. is it normal?

Normal in some: Your typical breast fed baby can have a little poo smear every feeding or one giant blowout every 7-10 days. The poo color ranges through dark green to yellows & browns based on digestive action. It is normal.
