Hi, can very well understand your concern.
Infants passing motion once in three days to 7-8 times a day is considered to be a normal. If baby is accepting feeds well, no vomiting, no excessive crying then not to worry about motion.
Feed the baby every two to three hourly. Burp the baby well by holding the baby in upright position.
Baby's having mixed feeding like breastfeeding and top feeding may have digestion issue. Feeding mother should drink plenty of water.
Hope this helps you.
