A 3 day old should have as many as 1 to 2 poops per day, although the frequency of poops and the amount of poops for a 3 day old can vary significantly.
It's also normal for a 3 day old baby to have more than 2 poops per day.
At 3 months of age, your baby's poop should be transitioning from black, sticky meconium to a greenish-brown color poop, which is a normal sign of the baby's diet changing.
Having between 1 and 2 poops per day is common in 3 day old babies, although the poops can be more frequent, sometimes after feeding them.
The color of the poop, changes from the initial black colored meconium to a greenish or greenish-brown color poop.
And the texture of the baby's poop will start to change from the sticky meconium to poop that is a bit runnier.
When it comes to pooping in babies, what's more important than the exact number of poops is that your baby is having bowel movements and pooping and seems comfortable and generally healthy.
If your baby's poop becomes pale or white in color, contact the doctor, as it can be a sign of liver issues.
And after the first week of your baby's life, the frequency of pooping can also slow down as your baby gets older and some breastfed babies also have fewer or less poops per day or even poop every few days.
If your baby is breastfed and hasn't pooped in over 3 days you should contact a doctor.
If your baby is formula fed, it's often a concern if the baby has not pooped for more than 5 days and if so you should contact a doctor.
