My 5 week old poops 8-12 times a day and grunts and cries while pooping, is this normal?

Maybe: A breastfed infant cam poop a smear every feed or a cradle filler once a week.Volume/day would be a cup or less. They have weak belly muscles so they use the breathing muscle to help push food along & fussing is a common part of that. The kid may have an issue but also may be okay.
