A. hi...breastfed babies tend to absorb most of the milk as nutrition and tend to poop much lesser sometimes, even once in ten days. This, however, isn’t true for formula-fed infants. They can have bowel movements between 3 to 4 times a day as well. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, try to change your dietary intake to see if something you are consuming is leading to constipation in your child. For a formula fed baby, changing the brand of milk can sometimes help. Bowel movements may be as frequent as one after every feed, or even once a day to once in three days (seen more in exclusively-breastfed babies). This will vary from baby to baby, and so long as your baby is keeping to his schedule, everything should be fine.
