Newborn poop frequency ranges from several times daily to every few days; in weeks 1–6, breastfed babies often poop 3–6 times per day.

Newborns usually feed 8–12 times in 24 hours, led by hunger cues and growth spurts.

For a breastfed newborn, expect at least 3–4 yellow, seedy stools daily from day 4–6 weeks; fewer in the first three days, and less after week six.

Newborns may poop several times a day or once every few days; soft stools and steady feeding matter more than the exact count.

For a newborn, plan on 6–8 swaddles; if laundry is infrequent or spit-up is heavy, keep 10–12 on hand.

Newborns pass 3–5 stools/day in weeks 2–6 if breastfed, 1–4/day if formula-fed; by day 4 expect ≥4 yellow stools as milk comes in.

Plan on 8–12 receiving blankets for a newborn—enough for swaddles, spills, and laundry cycles; wash often and use sleep sacks for safe sleep.

Plan on 300–540 size 1 diapers for a newborn, based on 10–12 changes a day and 3–6 weeks in size 1, depending on birth weight and growth.

One full-term newborn typically weighs about 7–7.5 pounds (3.2–3.4 kg); most fall between 5 lb 12 oz and 8 lb 12 oz.

One dose is 0.3 mL (20 mg simethicone); you can give drops after feeds and at bedtime, up to 12 times in 24 hours per label directions.
