A member asked:
Is it okay if my five day old baby poops six times per day? she is breast feeding.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Breast babies can do a little smear every feed or a cradle filler every 7-10 days. Breast milk is a well designed food source compared to formula, where more debris is left over after processing.
