Question

How often should a baby defecate?

Answer

A baby’s bowel movements can be normal if they occur once a day, twice a day, or even every two days. After starting on solid foods, a baby’s bowel movements usually become more regular. If a baby only defecates every few days, it might indicate constipation. In this case, it’s advisable to have the baby drink more water and consider giving some digestive aids, such as Mommy Love, or perform abdominal massage.
