How often does your baby poop?

DD use to poop a few times a day the first few weeks. Then went down to twice a day, then every other day, and now it's almost been 3 days. She drinks formula and breastmilk. I know babies change but isn't 3 days a long time?

I think every baby is different and read that some babies only go once a week even so I don't think you should be alarmed. Talk to your dr if you're concerned. Mine happens to go about 6 or 7 times a day, so honestly I'm a bit jealous of you right now ;)

If you notice horrible smelly farts, then it is possible LO is having issues and may need stimulation. We have had to do this twice, but call your pedi.

I don't think they worry until it's been a week or ten days. One of those. I can't remember which. I don't think you need to worry about 3 days, unless LO seems to be in pain. My DD is still constantly switching from periods of going every day to going every other day and occasionally she will go two or three days in between.

I had this same worry a few weeks ago. Our son went about 4 days without pooping and I was terrified. I called the peditrician and was told that every baby is completely different. She told me to try giving him a tiny amount of water just to soften things up. I tried it a few times and now he goes normal. Just call the peditrician and see what they think! You're not alone though!

After a few months lots of babies, especially babies getting BM will start going every 7-10 days. Mine both did and it was awesome!
