#asktheexpert Hi Dr, My baby boy is 50days old and poops during most of the feeds(Breast milk) is that normal? And my baby poop have curd like particles.

A. Yes, it is normal for a 50-day-old baby to poop frequently, especially after feedings. Newborns and young infants, particularly those who are breastfed, often pass stools after each feeding. This is because the baby’s digestive system is still developing, and breast milk is easily digested. The frequency can vary, but many breastfed babies poop multiple times a day, sometimes after every feed. Regarding the curd-like particles in the stool: This is also normal for breastfed babies. The curd-like appearance is typically due to the breast milk’s fat content, which can appear in the stool as small, undigested curds. These particles are usually not a cause for concern, especially if the baby is otherwise feeding well, gaining weight, and not showing signs of distress. However, if you notice: Changes in stool consistency (e.g., watery stools, mucus, or blood), Signs of discomfort, like excessive crying or difficulty feeding, or A decrease in weight gain or fewer wet diapers, It would be a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues, like a milk intolerance or infection. In general, if your baby is feeding well, gaining weight, and is otherwise healthy, this type of stool is normal for breastfed babies.
