Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
6 motions per day is normal for 6 months baby.
Soon after taking feed they pass motion due to active gastrocolic reflex.
Need not worry,continue with feeding
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
