Question

How Old Should a Baby Be to Have a Stool Once a Day?

Answer

At what age can a baby have a stool once a day? This is a common question. Breastfed infants usually have frequent stools before starting solid foods, but there is no clear specification for the exact time and age. Generally, after introducing solid foods, the baby’s stools will increase significantly. A three-month-old baby may have stools two or more times a day. For babies over two years old, most of them defecate once a day, and the stools will be formed.
