Is having a dirty diaper almost after every breastfeeding session normal for a 4 week old? our son also seems to get uncomfortable when he has a bowel movement?

Babies who are breastfed have more frequent yellow seedy stools. If there are more than 9 dirty diapers in 24 hours, please see your pediatrician. The growth curve should be evaluated. Watch for vomiting, fever and poor weight gain.

Congratulations on breastfeeding your baby! Breastfed babies often stool after every feed; this is also the softest and most comfortable way to move his bowels. if he is growing, gaining weight and readily comforted after a diaper change, you are doing a good job.
