In the first 6â8 weeks, babies should be pooping multiple times a day. This tells us milk is moving through, digestion is happening, and the system is doing its job.
After those early weeks, itâs normal for things to slow down a bitâbut healthy digestion still means regular, daily stools. Babies arenât meant to âhold itâ or be constipated for days at a time. Neither are adults.
P**p frequency is information. If itâs changing, missing, or causing discomfort, itâs worth paying attention to. Your babyâs body is always communicatingâwe just have to listen.
-and no, breastmilk is not "all used up" and even if it was true, there is a by-product to digestion, and that still needs to come out!
