Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Continuous weight gain according to the age and chart is best indicator for the well being of the child.
It is also the best indicator the adequate fulfillment of the caloric supply to the baby means baby is getting sufficient milk.
Many times because of the gastrocolic reflex there is frequent motion with out any infection.
Gradually with due course of times this frequency decreases and baby strarts passing normal stool.
hope the query is answered.
thanks
