Passing stool 10 times a day is equally normal as passing stool once in 10 days for a child of this age. You may relax and need not worry about that. Unless the stool is hard and pellet like, you need not consider it as constipation. No additional methods required. Continue breast feeding the baby or give top feeds in case feed supplementation is being done.
