How often does a newborn baby poop normally

Newborns should have a daily bowel movement when they are fed enough milk, and the number of bowel movements is as little as 1-2 times and as many as 6-8 times. The normal stool of newborns should be yellow soft stool or yellow paste-like stool, if the baby is fed in sufficient quantity, and intestinal function is good, will be 1-2 times a day defecation. But most newborns intestinal function is not yet developed, easily affected by the external environment, such as low room temperature, the number of bowel movements can be 6-8 times a day. In addition, breast-fed newborns have more bowel movements daily, up to 6-8 times, if formula-fed babies, intestinal factors are less influential, generally 1-2 times a day, or even 1-2 days a bowel movement. If a newborn has more bowel movements per day, and the stool becomes thin, green or mixed with milk flaps, it usually indicates poor intestinal function. Parents are advised to pay attention to the warmth of the baby’s abdomen, and can add probiotics to regulate it, or promptly admit the baby to the neonatal unit.
