Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, A 15 day old baby can pass stool 7 to 8 times per day and after every feed. The stools should not be watery and should not be found smelling. You with the stools are watery a child is passing stools more than 7 to 8 times per day then chances of acute gastroenteritis are very high. rotavirus diarrhoea can also be a cause. child should be given breastfeeding more frequently to prevent dehydration. Proper sanitation and hand washing should be done while handling the baby. if you still persist, then investigations like complete blood count, CRP level, stool for routine microscopy, blood culture should be done. Early examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. depending on reports, antibiotic needs to be started. Take care.
