Babies go through at least 2,000 diapers during their first year alone, so you’ll have plenty of time to get acquainted with their bowel movements. But during the precious newborn phase, it can be hard to know if your baby’s stool schedule is healthy. You may be asking, “How often do newborns poop each day?”
As it turns out, the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. For starters, poop frequency depends on whether they’re breastfed or bottle-fed. A baby’s unique digestive system also comes into play. Always ask your pediatrician about questions regarding newborn poop, and refer to these general guidelines for pointers.
