How often does your breastfed baby poop?

Question

My ebf baby used to poop multiple times per day like clockwork. In the last few weeks she’s been pooping like every 3 days. Gonna ask her doc about it next week at her 6 month apt but curious what other babies do

Answer

When my baby was EBF he pooped once a week after the newborn stage. My supply has dipped now so I have to supplement with formula and now he poops daily.

Answer

Now that he eats foods its everyday but before he would go like 3 to 5 days without pooping I used to be worried. But it's normal for breastfed babies I was told.

Answer

My LO poops once or twice per week and is EBF. Our doctor said as long as it’s soft then there is no reason for concern.

Answer

Once we started a solids at dinner time, it slowed waaaaay down.  Like once in 4 days.

Answer

My EBF 5 month old used to poop a few times a day, and now he sometimes goes 5 or 6 days between poops! I asked his doc, and she said that breastmilk is digested so easily/well, that there often isn't much waste. She said to let them know if he gets really fussy or has a hard tummy. She also said we could mix an ounce of prune juice with an ounce of water, but we haven't had to try that yet!
