Answer

Unmmm a couple hours 😂

Answer

Every day 2+ times but I remember with my first 2 EBF babies all of a sudden it would go to once a week

Answer

I recently had this! They daily at day 2 to take his rectal temp and that should do it. If not, then on day 3/4 give him HALF of a pediatric glycerin suppository (cut vertical, long ways).  That did it for my son. Now he poops every 1-2 days, and that’s still apparently normal. My pediatricians day to not let it go past 4 days. Good luck!
