A member asked:
6 month old baby, how many bm in one day ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BM: It varies. Many babies have a bm every time they feed and this is normal. Others may only have one per day and this is also normal. Even skipping a day can be normal. The most important thing is that the baby is reasonably comfortable while having a bm. Some mild straining for a few moments relieved immediately after the bm is good. If it becomes an hours long agony, you need to consult with a doc.
