How often does a 1-month-old baby poop?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Stool frequency in a 1-month-old baby varies quite a bit. In breastfed babies, having 5-6 bowel movements daily, even after each feeding, is considered normal. In formula-fed babies, the frequency is usually lower, ranging from 1-3 times daily. At this age, a baby not pooping for 1-2 days is also within normal limits, especially if breastfed and comfortable. What matters most is not the frequency but that your baby's stomach is comfortable, their stool is soft, and their weight gain is steady. If the stool is very hard or very loose, or if there's mucus present, or if your baby shows signs of discomfort or abdominal bloating, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
