So I know it's common for EBF babies to poop infrequently. But I'm wondering when that starts? LO is 4 weeks and still in the newborn stage of pooping multiple times a day. When does it start to slow down?
-
I'd love an answer to this! LO is still only 2 days old, but we've already changed 4 poopies today.
-
Ummm I don't think it was until she was about 6 months it slowed down and by a year she's pretty consistent at one per day in the mornings.
-
I've learned from my new moms' group that every baby is different! Mine stopped pooping every day around 6 weeks. It gradually slowed to be every 3, 4, 5, then 6 days! She is now 3 months and goes about once every 4-5 days.
-
I went back to look in my log, it slowed between 6-9 weeks.
-
I'vee been wondering the same thing- at 4 weeks were just starting to have diapers that are only wet. From 6 days old to recently it was poopy every single time and then some!
-
Around 4-6 weeks for my LO.
-
I think around 6-7 weeks. LO is 10 weeks old and now poops 2-3 times per day (from 10-12 times at 1-2 weeks old!).
-
Mine went from 1-2/day, to 3-4/week, to 1/week+ in a span of about two weeks when she was almost 3 months old.
-
I think around the 4-5 month mark? I can't remember. Now she usually goes once a day.
-
4-6 weeks. He now goes once every 10 days!!!
-
@junebugmama: wow, I think I'd freak out if E went that rarely! We were starting to worry when he went 3 days!
Sorry OP no input, my LO has pretty much gone only once a day (around 1pm) since he was born, with the rare instances of every 2-3 days.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: I didn't freak, because my nieces and nephews go once every 14 days, so I knew it was normal.
-
My son always pooped at least 2-3x per day and even now at 8 months poops 1-2x per day.
