Hello,

This is completely normal and no need for any treatment at all please. Babies of this age pass stools once in 10 days or 10 times a day also. As long as the baby is feeding well and otherwise active - no need to worry at all.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
