Pooping When 2 Months Old

Pooping When 2 Months Old

by Kristin
(Texas)

How much should a 2 month old poop daily?

Baby Help Line Response:

Hi Kristin!

At around the age of 2 months, babies tend to start pooping much less often, especially if breastfed. When newborn, breastfed babies may very well pass stools many times per day, but at 2 months, it may happen only once per day or even less often. Formulafed babies are often more regular, at around 1 time per day at this age.

Hope this helps,

Paula

Yes normal
by: Paula (Baby Help Line)

Hi Yaan,
Yes, if your baby is breastfed, urinates to wet several diapers every day and increases in weight, the lack of pooping completely normal. It means your baby is digesting all the milk and is growing rapidly.

Best,
Paula
