Brief answer :
Its normal.
Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Your child is passing stools every alternate day and is crying during defecation. This is a normal thing, a baby may pass 5 to 6 stools in a day or may pass stool once in two days.
In my opinion, you should give a prebiotic like enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days to increase gut immunity.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
