Is it normal for a 21-day-old, exclusively breastfed baby to poop 14 to 15 times a day in very small, yellow, seedy amounts if they are active, peeing well, and gaining weight, or does this require treatment since giving Econorm for four days has not helped?
What you are describing is actually completely normal. Exclusively breastfed babies often stool very frequently?even 14 to 15 times a day?in small, yellow, seedy amounts. This is due to a highly active gastrocolic reflex. Since your baby is active, peeing well, and gaining weight, they are thriving beautifully. Probiotics like Econorm are generally not necessary for this normal physiological process. You can discuss stopping it with your pediatrician during your next routine visit.
