A member asked:

My 5 week old newborn has watery poop for about 2 weeks. is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If it gets hard: Breast fed babies can have a little poo each feed or a big blowout every 7-10 days.Watery stools are common.If bottle fed, the formula may be causing watery stools & that may respond to a formula change.
