A member asked:
How often should my 10 month old have a bowel movement? she is breastfed. she goes about once every three days. just concerned!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: 1 bowel movement every 3 days is normal as long as her stool appears normal and she is gaining weight. Breast feed babies have a huge variation in normal. Some breast fed babies pass 1 stool a week and some with every diaper change. All the best.
