How many times should a 1-month-old baby poop?

Bowel movement frequency in a 1-month-old varies greatly. On average, 2-4 times daily is common, though some poop after every feeding (8-10 times daily). Conversely, some breastfed babies poop every few days and this can also be normal — what matters is soft consistency and the baby being comfortable (no straining). Formula-fed babies typically poop less frequently, 1-2 times daily, sometimes even once a day.
What matters is overall pattern: If your baby previously pooped frequently but suddenly stops for 3-4 days, or vice versa, when it was previously infrequent it suddenly becomes frequent, this warrants attention. Also, if poop is very hard and dark green/black (except the first days), slimy/watery, consult your pediatrician. If the baby seems content, belly is soft, and poop color/consistency looks normal, then whether frequent or infrequent, they're usually healthy.
