#asktheexperts Is it a problem if a 1 month baby poops once in 4 days

A. It's normal for children under 6 months to not pass stool for up to 10 days or to pass it more than 6-7 times a day. As long as the stool is semi-solid to solid, there's no need to worry about frequency or color, which can range from yellow-brown to green and black. Straining during urination and stooling is also normal. Burp them for 15 to 20 minutes.
