Does a 2-month-old poop every day?
⚡ Short answer: Pooping frequency in 2-month-olds varies widely; what matters isn't how many times a day he goes, but the consistency, color, and how your baby feels overall.

I have a question about my baby: does a 2-month-old poop every day? Should I be worried?

A 2-month-old's pooping frequency varies so widely that doing it several times a day is completely normal, as is going once every 5-7 days — both can be fine. What really matters at this age is stool consistency and color, not frequency.
Breastfed babies might poop 3-5 times daily, or 5-7 days with just one — either is normal. If your baby is comfortable passing gas, his belly is soft, and he's gaining weight well, going days without a poop isn't worrying. Formula-fed babies usually go 1-2 times daily, but this also varies from baby to baby.
What does deserve attention: if stool is hard and lumpy (sign of constipation), baby strains like he's in pain, or stool is white, red (bloody), or black — talk to your pediatrician. But if he's only going "less often," his belly feels soft, and he's otherwise fine, you can just observe.
Is your baby's weight gain steady and his tummy soft? If yes, then "not going every day" shouldn't worry you.
