Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children4 years agoA. 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.
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.
