How often does your baby poop? Mine usually has one in the afternoon and one at night. Do you know what's normal?

I don't know if there is a "normal" though I'm sure there is a range, my 7wo poops like four or five times a day

My four week old goes a ton, 7-10 a day.Typically during every feeding. He is only breast Fed. My pediatrician said some babies poop 10-15 times a day and that's normal. Others not as much.

My 5 week old went four days with no poop last week. Pediatrician said it was totally normal for newborns to go as long as a week or more between poops because their digestive system is immature and they are laying down so much that gravity isn't helping it along. Now we are at once every day or two and she seems perfectly happy and healthy.

Sometimes daily sometimes every couple days.

6 weeks old here and she goes every 3 days like clockwork ! Pedi said it was normal, as every baby is different. Just like grown ups don't go every day either ! Breastmilk vs formula makes a diff too. Formula takes longer to digest and she started going every 3 days the day I introduced formula.

My lo goes twice a day. He use to go after every feed, but that changed when he was 3 weeks old. He is almost five weeks now.

Mine goes about every eight days! I was worried but doctor said breastmilk is so efficient that if a baby is BF only they can go up to 12 days without pooping.... And when she goes it's def 8 days worth!!

Once a day sometimes she might skip a day.

My baby is mostly breastfed with one bottle of formula a day. He goes every other day to every two days. He always has two big ones on the days he actually goes.

My 6 week old is a pooing machine lol she's been going quite a lot lately but yet today hasn't had one yet. She's currently sleeping and grunting so she may have done one lol I was worried at 2 weeks old she wasn't point Enough and now it's like she's pooing too much lol but both doctor and health visitor said its normal and some babies only go once or twice a week x

Mine poops about twice a day. Usually one in the morning and another one in the evening.

I was told they can go a couple of days without pooping, and you that you can rub Vaseline around their butthole if you think they are having trouble pooping.
