Question

Accepted Answer

It is relatively normal for a 2-month-old baby to have bowel movements only once every two or three days, especially if she is breastfed. Breast milk is highly digestible, and babies who are exclusively breastfed often have fewer bowel movements because their body absorbs most of the milk, leaving less waste to expel. Some babies may have bowel movements after every feeding, while others may go several days between stools.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Signs to Watch For:

No discomfort: If your baby seems comfortable, not fussy, and is feeding well, then the infrequent bowel movements are likely not a concern.

Soft stools: Even if the stools are spaced out, they should be soft and not hard or dry. Hard, dry stools could indicate constipation.

Normal growth and feeding: If your baby is feeding well, gaining weight appropriately, and is generally content, then the bowel movement pattern is likely normal.

When to Be Concerned:

If your baby is showing signs of discomfort (e.g., crying excessively, straining) during bowel movements, it could be a sign of constipation.

If the stool is hard or dry and your baby is struggling to pass it, this could be a sign that your baby is constipated and may need medical advice.

If you're unsure or if your baby shows signs of distress, it's always best to consult your pediatrician. They can help ensure that everything is going well with your baby's digestion.
