hi
Thanks for your query
breast feed babies usually pass more frequent stools than top feed babies
and even up to 10-12 times passing stool is considered normal in these children but if your baby is lethargic ,not taking enough feed and consistency of stool is watery then consult your doctor
i will be available for your help
wishing him a speedy recovery
