How many poops a day
Show your support
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!
@Miranda thank you for the advice!!
@Christine 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!
@Sarah 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
@Andrea 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.
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.
