Hello doctor! My baby is almost 2 months now, since the end of the meconium until now, she has a regular bowel movement once a day. Baby eats 8 servings of 120ml each, exclusively breastfed. So, the doctor asked me if my baby is almost 2 months old and has a bowel movement once a day, is it too little? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.

Hello!
Baby nearly 2 months old has a bowel movement once a day, eats 8 times a day, each feeding 120ml of breast milk is completely normal breastfeeding according to age. Don't know how the baby's weight gain status?
Breastfed babies do not necessarily have to have a bowel movement every day, but they may only have bowel movements 1-2 times a week because breast milk is very well absorbed, the body part creates very little stool. If your baby is still happy, doesn't bloat, sucks well, doesn't have dry stools, and can pass stools on his own, there's no need to worry.
