Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Poop Count for 5 week old

How often does your breastfed baby poop?? My DS is almost 6 weeks and up untill 3 days ago he was a very healthy pooper. I'd have to change him several times a day because of a full blown diaper. But now he's started going maybe 3 times a day all of a sudden with a few stained ones. I know that the number of times they go starts to decrease as they get older but this happened overnight. Since then he's been getting a little more fussier so I give him gas drops to try and help his belly, but I'm just wondering if this is normal.  TIA

Re: Poop Count for 5 week old

  • DD went from a few times a day to not going for a week out of nowhere.  That was right before she turned 2 months.  Yes, she had lots and lots of gas, but she's ok with the gas now and it doesnt wake her up if she hasn't gone for days anymore.  We tried a few gas drops too, but they didn't help after about an hour of her sleeping.

  • same here.  He started going once every few days last week and last went on Monday.  Freaked me out at first, but i understand it's nornal.  Judging by the smell of his farts I'm expecting he'll go today.

  • About 2 weeks ago we switched from having little marks all day with about 5 blow outs, to 2 or 3 blowouts and the rest gas.
