Breastfed babies usually poop about 3~5 times a day. Newborn babies, however, have more frequent bowel movements, perhaps around 6 to 8 times a day. Normally, breastfed babies have more frequent bowel movements and may need to have about 3~5 bowel movements a day. If a newborn baby is breastfed, the number of bowel movements will be more frequent and may be around 6~8 times a day. As the newborn’s fetal stool is passed, the baby’s bowel movements will gradually become normal, basically 3~5 times a day. If the breastfed baby starts to save his/her stomach, the number of bowel movements per day may decrease, such as 1~2 times a day, or maybe once every few days. However, as long as there is no other abnormality in the baby’s body, such as better diet and sleep, it is normal. If a breastfed baby has a sudden increase in the number of bowel movements and abnormalities in the color and character of the stool, it is recommended that he or she go to a pediatrician in a regular hospital as soon as possible, where routine stool tests can be performed to rule out disease factors in a timely manner.
