How often does a baby pass waste a day?

Answer 1

The amount of bowel movements a baby may have in a day varies...It will depend upon whether the infant is breast fed or bottle fed, and also the age of the baby...Very young and breast fed infants may have several bowel movements in a day and be within normal limits...Older and bottle fed infants tend to have fewer bowel movements in a day and this is also normal. Diet will determine how many bowel movements anyone, including infants, will have on a daily basis.
