Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Every child has his/her own stool frequency. If there is no distension of abdomen and no excessive crying while passing stools then there is no cause for concern.

I would also advise the following
1. Continue breast feeding till 18 months
2. Continue giving complimentary feeds
3. Ensure good intake of water
4. Reduce intake of refined sugars

In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care

Best Regards
