Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking once again. Yes, I remember you. Let me try to answer your queries.
a) It is normal. No need to worry.
b) Not a cause for concern. Breast feeding needs to be continued.
c) There is a phenomenon called gastrocolic reflex which may make babies pass stool after even each feed. It is normal. Nothing to be concerned about.
d) Feed every 1 hour would only leave the baby hungry (just the reverse of what you think) as enough milk will not get time to accumulate in the breasts. Please do not encourage this practice. Try to stick to 2 hours.
e) Sneezing, coughing, hiccups are normal in babies of this age. No need to worry.
Regards
