Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic,
Infants have gastrocolic reflex due to which after feeding, they will pass stools.
It is a normal thing for them.
But if the stool is loose watery, foul smelling, then treatment is required with probiotic, oral rehydrating solution and antibiotic if required.
Frequent urination is a good sign of hydration status and the adequacy of breastfeeding.
Hope I have answered your query.
