Newborn poop frequency ranges from several times a day to once every few days, shaped by age, feeding, and growth.

Newborns usually need a bath 2–3 times a week, with sponge baths only until the umbilical cord stump falls off.

Most newborns feed 8–12 times in 24 hours; formula-fed babies start 1–2 oz every 2–3 hours, rising to 3–4 oz every 3–4 hours in the first month.

Newborns may poop 3–10 times daily early on; by 4–6 weeks, breastfed may skip days, while formula-fed pass 1–4/day—soft, easy stools are normal.

Newborn poop ranges from several times a day to once every few days; feeding and age shape the pattern, and soft stools with steady growth reassure.

Newborn burping: pause 1–2 times during each feed and again at the end; bottle-fed babies often need more pauses than breastfed.

Newborn urination: expect 1 wet diaper on day 1, rising daily to 6–8+ per 24 hours after the first week.

Most newborns wake 2–4 times at night in the first 8 weeks for feeds, then stretch as day calories rise and sleep cycles mature.

In the first year, most U.S. babies have seven planned well-child visits: newborn, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months; extra visits happen if concerns arise.

Newborn shower frequency: about 2–3 baths a week; use daily sponge cleanups, and skip showers until the umbilical cord heals.
