A. There is a range of healthy when it comes to how often a baby should poop. As long as your baby is feeding normally and gaining weight (1 to 2 pounds a month), don't worry about the number of poops. Some babies 2 months or older poop once a day or more often. Other babies poop once every few days or even once a week.First 3 months for children who are formula-fed — Expect two to three soft bowel movements daily. 6 months–1 year — Expect two bowel movements daily. 1–3 years — Expect one to two bowel movements daily. 4 years and older — Expect one bowel movement daily.Most sources I found said that anything up to about a week between bowel movements could be normal. Beyond that, it is definitely worth talking with your pediatrician to be sure there isn't an underlying cause. Formula-fed or mixed-fed infants tend to poop less frequently than exclusively breastfed babies.
