Question

My baby is 4months on the 9th aug. is it normal for him to only p**p once a day

Answer 1

yes- my son only went every 3 days at that point but he was breastfed

Answer 2

Be happy he's not pooping much =p

Answer 3

absolutely.. some even p**p only once every few days. As long as its not hard and clumpy, your baby is fine.

Answer 4

Is he breastfed? It is not uncommon for breastfed babies to not p**p for up to 3 days. It is because babies use more of what is in breastmilk than what is in formula so there is less waste, hence less p**p. If he's breastfed, it's perfctly normal.

If he is strictly formula fed, you may want to give him more liquids, like bottles of water. He could be dyhydrated. If this keeps happening, call your doctor and ask questions.

Yes - some babies p**p several times a day, and some only a few times a week, and everything in between  :)
