For a baby to stop pooping multiple times a day? Baby is two months old, is nursing well, and occasionally has a bottle (formula)

Is still very normal for a breastfed baby.

Still does at 8months...
But the type you mean, where every diaper is dirty, eases up. My baby was better at 2 months. I think I stopped mid night changing at 4 weeks. It is really individual.

I guess I wasn’t clear. My question is it normal or concerning that he’s NOT pooping all the time?

It could be. It could also be that he’s absorbing breast milk so well that There’s barely any waste. My exclusively bf baby went 2 weeks without dirty diapers and the doctors weren’t concerned. They should X-ray to see if there’s a ton of buildup inside or not

If normal wet diapers and nof in pain etc.. can go awhile. Mine went 10 days sometime around 2 months.

He NOT pooping before/during/after every time, that’s my concern.

He’s pooping, just sometimes only once in 24 hours. Should I be concerned?

If he seems happy and is having wet diapers I wouldn't be concerned about once a day

Yes, that's well within the normal range.
My doctor said it's normal for babies that age to poop anywhere from 10 times a day to once in 10 days -- both are normal.

Had the same question with my 2 month old literally last week and the pediatrician said if his tummy feels soft, he still has 6-8 wet diapers a day, and is otherwise happy that there's no reason to worry.

My daughter pooped often once a week and we were told that for exclusively BF baby, still within range of normal as long as she was making wet diapers and growing.
