My baby is 4 days old. Baby is existing stool more than expected. We are consulting to the doctor but we want 2nd opinion. Baby is unable to eat mother's milk by own and seems very weak. Doctor has suggested neopeptine syrup 10 drops morning evening. And econorm sachet mixed with mothers milk two times.

Every baby has its own strength so don't expect more. Neopeptine and econorm is good for your concern.

Well for a new born baby 15 to 20 stools per day is normal if baby is passing urine normally. U just need to make sure that baby latches well to the mother. And gradually milk output will increase. Newborn baby usually losses some weight for first 10 to 15 days, so may look weak to you. Just continue with breast feed.

Hi lybrate-user, check weight of newborn. Give exclusive bf only. Its common in newborn so do not worry. You can give neopeptine drops. No worries.

Increased frequency of stools on first few days after delivery will settle down and doesn't require any medicines but if baby is not able to take breast feeds properly you have to get it checked and correct it.

Try to give mothers milk. Initial few days, amount of breast milk will be less, but dnt worry. Baby on breast feeding can pass stool multiple times even 15-20 times, but nothing to worry if baby is feeding well. Syrup & sachet I dnt think needed. If feeding issue, you can expressed breast milk & feed by spoon/katoori. Weight of baby?
