A member asked:
Is it normal for 7 week old baby from having 5 bowl movements per day to having 1 every second day? is this change normal? she only gets breast milk

Yes: Breastfed infants can have a small smear of poop every feeding or a diaper overflow once a week. Many will develop their own pattern but the pattern you describe is well within the expected one for BF infants.
