Doctor's answer:

Children who are breastfed have yellow or golden-yellow stools that are uniform and creamy, but without a foul odor. They have more frequent bowel movements, typically 2 to 4 times a day, with some having as many as 7 to 8 times. This is called physiological diarrhea. Parents do not need to worry, as this is a normal phenomenon, and this type of diarrhea will automatically disappear as the child grows to a certain age. Children who are fed with cow's milk have fewer bowel movements, usually 1 to 2 times a day, with a slightly foul odor.
