Is there a recommended frequency or pattern of bowel movements from which I can make out that my baby's digestive system is healthy??

Hi. A healthy bowel habit consists of two factors: frequency and more importantly consistency of the faeces (poop). Other than newborns who are exclusively breastfed, babies typically should have bowel movements 1-2 times every 1-2 days. Consistency is soft and pasty when on milk alone but when solids foods are introduced, the consistency will change to become more firm. If you look up Bristol Stool Chart, a Bristol Type 3-4 is considered normal. Bristol Type 1-2 denotes constipation while Type 5-6 is too loose. Hope this helps. 🙂
