Pediatrician,  's  Response
Good morning..!!

Babies upto 1 year can pass stools even upyo 15 times a day.

Consistency can range from solid, semi-solid to watery.

Colour can be anything (worry only if she passes fresh blood).

You need to worry only when she becomes dull, not taking feeds, not passing enough urine per day (minimum 6 times) etc. Consult your doctor if any of these red flags are seen.

Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
