#AskTheExpert My newborn who is just 25 days old cries a lot. Upon testing his stool, the doctor said he is allergic to protein. What should we do? I am supposed to have any dairy products since I will be breast feeding.

A. hi dear Expect at least 3 bowel movements per day, but may be up to 4-12 for some babies. After this, baby may only poop every few days. Baby will usually pass more stool after starting solids. Newborn will pass meconium by 24-48 hours after birth.
