Poopy diaper count in EBF babies?

Donny-stfu · May 2009

At what age does the dirty diaper count per day go down in EBF babies? DD is almost 5 weeks old and has only had 2 poopy diapers today and it's almost 6. Is this normal or should I be worried? Oh, and she has had about 5 wet diapers today, so that's average.

Our pedi said it was normal for poopy diapers to decrease around this time. ?When we went in for our 1 month and DD was still having poopy diapers each time she ate, our pedi thought that was really weird. ?She's now has the occassional diaper with no poop, but the pedi said it was completely normal for her to go a few days without a dirty diaper.?

My 4 1/2 week old only had 3 poopy diapers today. This is down from him having at least 6 a day.

In my BFing class they said around one month is when it's normal for them to decrease. DS only went about once a week, sometimes 10 days since he was about 2 months old. We just started solids so unfortunately that's over!
