How often does your LO poo?

KittyMisha · October 2014

I've seen mention in some threads that pediatricians are happy if a baby poops once every couple of days, but mine poops constantly. Just wondering what's average.

About daily...but he farts all day long if that counts for anything.

LO used to poop daily but now seems to be every other. I thought that was bad but from what OP wrote maybe it's OK. Farts a lot though.

Multiple times a day

DD poops once a day, sometimes twice.

I still put multiple but it's definetly gone down. We went from 3-4 and in the past two weeks more like 2. The past two days once per day.

We get one really big poo per day, and maybe 1 or 2 smaller bowel movements.

ETA: He used to poop with every feeding! Things really slowed down at about age 11 weeks.

It's gone down drastically, but it's still multiple times per day. From like 6 or 7 down to 2 or 3.

We are still at around 7-8 per day.

It used to be multiple times a day, then when she hit 2 months it went to being once every 1 to 3 days.

The Ped warned us that the reduction would happen, so we did not freak out. It was a pretty drastic change in frequency, like she was pooping multiple times a day one day, then bam, 3 days till the next poop.

Usually 5+ a day... yesterday was 7 with 2 blowouts.

ETA: ebf

jamjoyful · October 2014

Usually one massive blowout per day. Then, a few tiny spots in a couple diapers but nothing I would consider an actual poop.

LO goes about every 8-9 days. My pedi says it's totally normal but it is crazy to think that it is, especially when you hear about everyone's multiple times a day babies.

marathonmommy82 · October 2014

EBF, once every 3 or 4 days

wandsandwine · October 2014

BM baby either breast or bottled. It used to happen every time he ate now it's every other day

shugirl76 · October 2014

Every 3-4 days

kmontem · October 2014

EBF, once every 9-10 days

poofwok · October 2014

Every 3-4 days. EFF.

kareik01 · October 2014

EFB, once a day normally. Couple days ago was 3 times and that was crazy.

This. And a few sharts.

ETA: since shots we are back up to 5-6 + sharts per day. I'm just thankful he is not constipated.

I picked ss because as of right now, it's inconsistent. Some days she will poo/shart a few times then another day out of the blue she'll have just one big poo. She has not gone more than a day without a bowel movement yet.

RachelB104 · November 2014

EBF 6-8 times a day. Pretty much a poop per feeding. Sometimes we don't have one with the MOTN feeding and sometimes an extra one during the day. Sharts in between those. I have a very gassy baby.

This is becoming one of the things that I feel like I'm doing wrong....

My was going once a week at first...then once or twice a week...for about two weeks we were up to every other day...now, it seems to be slowing down again. He also spits up so much that I'm worried he's not getting enough nutrition. The doctor has told me all of these things are normal, but I just don't know if I believe them. I feel so torn.

He's been on reflux meds for a month now, I think I might call and try and get an updated opinion. I've had two people tell me this week that they don't think his ungodly amounts of spit up are normal.

pmpkn219 · November 2014

Average 3-4 a day, out of 8-10 feedings (ebf). Has also basically stopped going from 8p to 530a, even though she'll eat usually 2-3 times in that period
