Baby bowel movements query??

[S'rose]

Hi everyone,

I have a friend who has an 8 week old breast feed bub. No one can answer her question, so I knew you lovely women would be able to help us out.

Her baby poops regularly at once every three days. Apparently its a fair all in one go...

But what she wants to know is, can this be normal? Or should she be worried about it?

Thank you so much for helping us out.

exclusively breastfed babies can go 10 days between poos, with it being perfectly normal.
I think its to do with the fact b/m is so easy to digest for a lot of bubs.

Yep, totally normal for b/f bubs - and yes when it does happen - look out - usually bath time.

i am lucky my little fella has one every day - so far .... so no up the back into the armpits ones here yet

Thank you ladies so much, I will let her know. Poor thing, worries as she has no one to talk to about this stuff.
Your help is so appreciated by us both.
