Brief Answer:
It's normal report - don't worry about it

Detailed Answer:
Hi... it is normal report, do not worry about it.

But, I would like to know why a stool routine was done for such a young baby.

If the baby is completely on mother feed, then the baby can pass motion 10 to 12 times per day also. So please do not think that it is loose motions.
