More than number of stools consistency is important. If the baby has no difficulty in passing stool, if the stool is not hard to pass no need to worry. Babies can pass from 1-6 times per day normally.

Yes, passing stool 3–4 times a day is generally normal for a 10-month-old on solids.Since the consistency is fine and your baby is acting normally, there is no cause for concern.Stool frequency varies widely among infants based on their specific diet and activity levels.As long as the stool isn't watery or bloody, this frequency is healthy

Yes, if stool consistency is normal and baby is active, feeding well and gaining weight properly, passing stool 3–4 times a day can still be normal at this age, especially after starting solid foods. There is no need to worry unless stools become very loose, watery, foul smelling, contain blood/mucus, or baby develops fever, vomiting or poor feeding.
