The number of motions is NOT important for the first 3-4 months of life,and varies from 10-12 times a day to just one motion after 3-4 days, sometimes more.
What IS important is the consistency of the stools,which should be soft and formed.
Just ensure breastfeeding at a gap of at least 3 hours,give nothing else by mouth and don't wake him up for a feed.
Maintain strict hygiene in giving feeds.
