Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
I congratulate you on starting breast feed ,
Before answering your question I need answer of following questions
1. Is your baby active, accepting feed every 3-4 hourly
2.Does your baby passes urine every 4-6 hourly.
3.Has your baby gained 750 gm to 1 kg in last 28 days.( I am considering a birth weight of nearly 2.5 kg)
If answer to all above questions is yes , I do not think there is any reason to worry.It is normal for your baby to pass freq stools.
If answer to any of question in no, you need to concern , and need for further evaluation.
Stools exam is normal and not contributing to management of child as of now.
A trial of pre-probiotics can to tried for 5 days , as it is otherwise safe to use.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing your baby good health.
