How many times a day should a newborn poop??
I know he is my 2nd baby, but I think that I have forgotten a lot in the last 4 years....
Brody pooped after pretty much every feeding since birth, but yesterday and today, he only went once. He is now 9 days old.
Is that ok, or could he be constipated???
Thanks

Squishy pooped with every bottle but then started to change as did Brody. My doc said he is constipated when his poops seem more formed and/or he struggles to pass them. I wouldn't worry if he didn't seem to struggle.
I know what you mean about 2nd baby it's amazing how much you forget in such a short period of time.

ITA.
I believe BF babies go more often as it's easier for them to break down the milk.
