A member asked:
My 1 and half month old baby defecate every 2days,sometimes it is hard sometimes soft,is it normal?

Yes: Breast fed kids may go a little every feed or one bulky stool every 7-10 days & if soft they are not constipated. Most formula babies go 1-2xd. Any stool that is dried out is constipation & a sign things are not moving along fast enough.
