Newborn poop varies: week one often 1–4 a day; later, several daily to once every few days—as long as stools are soft and baby feeds and grows well.

Most newborns pass 3–4 stools a day in early weeks, though healthy newborn poop ranges from after every feed to about once daily.

In the first months, most newborns gain about 5–7 ounces per week (0.3–0.4 lb) after they regain birth weight.

In the first weeks, anywhere from 1 to 8 poops a day is common; after 4–6 weeks, patterns spread out, and softness and comfort matter most.

Newborns may poop once every few days or many times daily; breastfed often pass 3–8+ a day in the first 6 weeks, formula-fed about 1–4 daily.

Most formula-fed newborns make 1–4 poopy diapers a day after week one; early days bring 1–3 meconium or transitional stools.

Most newborns pass at least 3–4 yellow stools a day by day 4, with wide normal ranges as feeding and age shape diaper patterns.

Most newborns pass 1–8 stools a day; breastfed babies can skip a day or two and still be normal when stools stay soft and feeds go well.

For newborn feeding, expect 1–2 oz per feed in week one, rising to 2–4 oz by the end of month one across 8–12 feeds in 24 hours.

Most newborns pass several stools a day in early weeks; breastfed often 2+ daily, formula-fed about 1–4 daily.
