A member asked:
19 week old breastfed. has been pooping 2x a day since friday. used to be only once every 3 days. can this be a new normal thing? no fevers
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal variant: Most breastfed newborns poop after each feeding, the timing varies. This changes with growth and becomes less frequent. Biggest variant is in what mom is eating that can affect the baby's gut. Has your diet changed? If your baby is nursing well, pooping 2 x per day, sleeping well, has no fever, then I wouldn't be concerned.
