Question

How often does a one-month-old baby poop in a day?

Answer

A newborn’s bowel movements can vary, ranging from every two to three days to as frequent as six or seven times a day, depending on their diet. However, the most important factor is not the frequency of bowel movements but their consistency. It is advisable to closely observe the baby’s behavior for signs such as refusal to feed or crying. If everything is normal, it is suggested that a baby exclusively breastfed should have four to five bowel movements per day, while a baby fed with formula should have one to two bowel movements per day.
