Breastfed babies' bowel movement frequency varies widely and changes as they grow:

• Newborn to about 6 weeks: Breastfed babies typically poop 2 to 5 times a day, often after each feeding. Their stools are usually soft, yellow or light brown, sometimes seedy, and have a mild smell. This frequent pooping is normal because breastmilk is easily digested and acts as a natural laxative

• After 6 weeks: Many breastfed babies begin to poop less frequently, sometimes going several days without a bowel movement-up to 7 to 10 days is not uncommon. This decrease is normal as breast milk is so well absorbed there is less waste. As long as the stools remain soft and the baby is growing well and feeding regularly, infrequent pooping is not a concern

• Variability: Some breastfed babies poop after every feeding, while others may have a bowel movement only every few days or even once a week. The key indicator of normalcy is softness of stools and the baby’s overall health and growth, not just frequency

In summary, breastfed babies usually poop multiple times a day in the first weeks, but it is normal for the frequency to decrease significantly after 6 weeks, sometimes to only once every several days or even weekly, provided stools are soft and the baby is thriving
