A member asked:
How often should 4 month old poop?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Once a week: In a normal baby, the minimum would be once a week. As long as the stools are not thick, like clay or play-do, or little pellets or balls, then once a week is normal. Some babies poop every feeding and others once a week. There is everything in between. If the stool is thick or hard, then you should treat for constipation.

Varies: Stool patterns vary on the diet and how often they feed. Also depends on if they have food allergies, intolerances, constipation issues. 2-3 times per day is normal.
