No, daily pooping is not a requirement. Some breastfed babies poop 5-6 times a day, while some may poop once every 5-7 days — both are normal. With the introduction of solids, frequency can also decrease. What really matters is not frequency but the consistency of the stool and the baby's overall condition. If the baby is comfortable, has no gas, the belly is soft, and stool passes easily when it comes, there's no problem. If stool is hard or difficult to pass despite straining, then constipation should be considered.
