A member asked:
How many bowel movements a day for 6 week old? been 2 days since last bm. nursing but had to give her some formula in the last few days, is that why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stools: Because you are breastfeeding, your child could have a BM with each feeding, once a day or can go as long as a week without having one. All normal for breast fed babies.
