How often should an 11-month-old baby poop?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The number of bowel movements in an 11-month-old varies greatly. Generally, 1-2 times per day is common, but babies who poop every other day are completely normal.

What matters is not the frequency but the consistency and your baby's overall state. If the stool is soft, paste-like, and your baby is comfortable, cheerful, and has a good appetite—whether they go 3 times a day or every other day—there's no problem.

Consult a pediatrician in these situations:

  • Stool is hard, lumpy, and your baby struggles, strains, or cries (signs of constipation)
  • Your baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 5-7 days
  • There's blood, mucus, or watery diarrhea in the stool

Pumpkin, pear, and prune are fibrous foods that help prevent constipation, and adequate water intake helps as well.
