Frequent poops?

Question

My 2 month old usually poops about 5 or less times a day but today he is already up to 8 poops since 12:30 am! He is acting pretty much normal, a little more fussy than usual but not major. Should I be concerned? This was his last poop and he is fully breast fed right now. It looks green in the photo but is definitely more mustard yellow in person which looks normal to me for breastfed babies but I could be wrong.

Answer

My daughter is only a month old but I just had her at the doctor yesterday and had some questions for her doctor about her screaming when she poops. Her doctor told me that babies this young don’t have stomach muscles built up to help push it out so that’s why it’s hard for her to poop. She told me that those muscles are usually built up by two-three months and then babies start to poop a lot more. Maybe that’s why your baby is pooping so much? This is my first baby though so I’m not sure how normal it is but I just wanted to share.

Answer

This looks normal to me (exclusively bf) my babies poop actually started looking a little slimy  recently but still yellow.

Answer

That looks totally normal. Some days my baby (exclusively breastfed) poops a lot and some days it’s only 4-5 times 😂.
