how often should a one month old poop

A one-month-old baby typically poops about 2 to 5 times a day, often after every feed. However, after six weeks, the frequency usually decreases, and some babies may poop only once a day or even once every few days, especially if they are breastfed. The important factors are that the baby is feeding well, gaining weight, and the poop is soft, not hard or painful to pass. If the baby goes several days without pooping but is otherwise healthy, it is often not a concern, but it's best to monitor for signs of discomfort or dehydration. Sudden changes in pooping patterns or abnormal stool color or consistency may warrant a pediatrician's consultation.
