How many poops a day

My pediatrician said that it wouldn’t be considered constipation until my 9 week old went one week without pooping. She said 3/4 days is completely normal, so hopefully that helps validate your research. That said, I’m sorry your LO is experiencing discomfort. Some things that helps when my baby is uncomfortable: warm baths, lower sacrum massage (google S2), bicycle legs, tummy rubs.

Totally normal. My 2 month fluctuates, he will poop 4x a day or 2x a day and he’s combo feeding. I mentioned to the pediatrician when he only pooped once a while ago and she said she’s not concerned as long as the poop is not hard. She also mentioned how she’s had babies come in without pooping for 10 days!

thank you for the advice!!

wow! I feel much better now.

Totally normal! My girl will poop 1-2 times a day or once even 2-3 days. She just got over a 3 day no pooping period. As long as they don’t go over 3-4 days it’s normal! We had to switch her to soy formula and she’s been pooping so much better!!!! Sometimes it’s the formula. Sometimes it’s just their body!

makes sense! She’s strictly breastfed so I wasn’t sure! She’s my first so I have no idea what I’m doing 😂 I just keep asking a million questions until I get it all figured out.

I def get it! My girl is my first too. She’s adopted so I can’t breastfeed but it’s a learning curve no matter what!!!

were you on antibiotics during pregnancy or during the birth per GBS+ test results?
this can cause the guts flora to be damaged and symptoms are digestive issues, i would look for probiotic supplements in that case

I don’t know exactly when I conceived but I was on an antibiotic for c diff but I would’ve had to have been like 3-4 weeks pregnant by then so idk if that would’ve been able to effect anything. My gbs test was negative.
