Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Do not worry. It is normal for a small child to pass stool once in 10 days as is passing 10 times in one day. Just continue giving him breast feeds. If you can, it might be helpful to increase the amount of breast milk to 100% if feasible.

Whatever a mother eats is basically what the baby gets. Just eat a healthy diet but it is basically for two persons not one. You may like to include all sorts of flavours which will enrich your baby's taste. If you stay healthy, the chances are that your baby will stay healthy too.

Hope that will take care of your query. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
