Question
How many times a day should a 4-month-old breastfeeding baby have a bowel movement, and is it normal?

A 4-month-old breastfeeding baby should have an average of 1 to 4 bowel movements per day. If the baby’s stool frequency suddenly decreases or increases, accompanied by other discomforts such as bloating, abdominal pain, or constipation, further examination and treatment may be needed.
