How many times a day is normal for a newborn to poop

The number of bowel movements per day for newborns is related to their physical condition and feeding method, with breastfed newborns having 3 to 5 bowel movements per day. When breastmilk can meet the needs of infants and young children, the newborn’s daily bowel movements are about 3 to 5 times a day, golden yellow paste-like stool. Formula milk is yellow colored, less frequent than breastmilk, and the number of bowel movements may vary according to body type. If the newborn’s weight gain is within the physiological range and there is no blood, foam, mucus or other abnormalities in the stool, no special attention is needed. If the newborn’s daily bowel movements are not up to standard or if there is slow weight gain, or if the newborn cannot sleep peacefully after feeding, the cause should be promptly identified and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
