Hi. Don't worry.
Ur baby s term baby. So he s full mature for breastfeeding. Please continue breastfeeding.
Normally baby pass stools once in 3-4 days or 4-5 times in a day both things are normal.
Baby looses weight initially that is n first 7 days of life, it s physiological, don't worry. He will start gaining weight and come to the birth weight by 7- 10 days of life.
