Breast or formula ?: Breast fed infants can go a little every feed or overflow a diaper once a week. If it is soft when they go I don't worry about it. Formula fed babies usually have daily stools. They use their breathing muscle to push poop out, they all look like they struggle unless it is very loose. If stools are getting hard, I often try full strength prune juice, 1oz once or more/d.
