A. Yes, it's quite normal for a 5-month-old to poop after every meal, especially if they are exclusively breastfed or on formula. At this age, babies' digestive systems are still developing, and frequent bowel movements can be a sign of their body adjusting to food intake. Breast milk, in particular, is easily digested, so babies may pass stools frequently. If your baby’s stools are soft, regular, and not accompanied by signs of discomfort like excessive crying or hard stools, there is generally no cause for concern. However, if you notice any changes in stool consistency, color, or if your baby seems uncomfortable, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician for reassurance.
