A. Hai good morning !! Some breast feed babies completely absorbs all nutrients from breast milk and poops irregular 2-4 or even more its also fine until 5-6 months. Where as formula feed babies poop normally and pees a lot compared to breast feed ones. Its ok to poop irregular if baby is actively taking feed with no gas,tight tummy issues,hard stools. Just give a tummy massage with warm castor oil or coconut oil for 3-5 minutes .
