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.
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.
Me:41 DH: 46 high count but poor motility & morphology TTC on and off since 2005

It's gone down drastically, but it's still multiple times per day. From like 6 or 7 down to 2 or 3.
I'm being featured in a new pregnancy/motherhood blog during the month of October, so if you ever wanted to know more about my pregnancy, birth, and motherhood experiences than anyone ever should, check out my posts in the link below!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
