Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

Is it considered normal if my 3-month-old breastfed baby has a stool only once a week?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It is generally normal for a 3-month-old breastfed baby to have a stool once a week, as long as there is no difficulty in passing stool, no presence of blood or hard stool, and the baby shows signs of healthy growth, such as appropriate weight gain, height development, and normal neural development. However, it's essential to continue monitoring your baby's overall well-being and consult your pediatrician if you have any concerns or notice any unusual changes in your baby's health.

 

Thanks
