How many times is normal for a two-month-old baby to poop

For a two-month-old baby, 3 to 5 stools are normal if the baby is breastfed. If it is formula-fed, then the number of stools 2~3 times normal. Usually, breastfed babies have more stools. Babies have higher nutritional needs for growth and development, so they feed more often and have more stools. It can be up to 3~5 times or even more. In addition to the number of stools, you should also observe the nature of stools, weight gain. If the baby’s stools are loose and soft, normal color, and weight gain, the number of stools is allowed to increase, and no special intervention is needed. For formula-fed babies, because formula is thicker than breastmilk, the number of stools will be less, usually around 2-3 times, and the stools will be slightly drier than breastfed babies. If your baby has difficulty in passing stools, or the stools are not normal, green, dark green, red or brown in color, and accompanied by dry stools, or dry and then soft, then you need to take your baby to the doctor.
