Formula poop: What's normal, and how often formula-fed babies poop

Babies who are formula-fed have poop that's browner and firmer than babies who are breastfed. Once they're 1 month old, they may poop anywhere from several times a day to once every few days. Pooping habits are individual – so being in tune with what's normal for your baby (as well as what's common for most babies) can help you spot any poop problems.

What formula-fed baby poop is like

Whether they're formula-fed or breastfed, your baby's poop will start as a sticky mess. Within 24 hours of their birth, your baby should produce meconium, a greenish-black, tarry poop made up of amniotic fluid, mucus, and skin cells. (Tip: If you get a chance, coat your baby's bottom with petroleum jelly before they pass this first bowel movement, and it'll be easier to clean off.)

Once the meconium is passed, your baby's poop will transition in color and texture. This transition, which will happen when your baby is 2 to 4 days old, means that your baby's intestinal tract is at work digesting their formula.

Unlike breastfed baby poop – which ranges from yellow to green or brown– formula-fed baby poop is on the brown color spectrum. Yellow-brown, tan-brown, and green-brown are all normal poop colors for formula-fed babies.

As far as consistency, formula-fed baby poop is similar to peanut butter. It smells a bit more than breastfed baby poop (though not as much as the poop of babies who are eating solid foods).

Once your baby starts eating solids, their poop will be thicker and smellier. It may become darker or lighter, depending on what they're eating. You may even spot bits of undigested food in their poop.

Note: While light-colored poop is normal, your baby's poop shouldn't be white or pale and chalky. If it is, contact their doctor right away, because this may mean that your baby has a liver or gallbladder problem.

How often do formula-fed babies poop?

Many parents wonder whether their baby is having the right number of bowel movements. But babies' bowel movements are as individual as they are, and there's no magic number. What's important is that you get to know your baby's routine so you'll know if they're having many more or less poops than usual.

Here's what's typical, though:

Newborns often have several little poops in a row, and they tend to poop more than older babies. They'll likely poop at least once or twice a day in the first few days and may poop many more times a day by the end of the first week. Some newborns poop after each feeding during their first month. This may slow down by around 6 weeks.

Beginning at a month or two, your baby may have several bowel movements a day, or they may go several days between bowel movements. Most commonly, though, they'll have at least one bowel movement each day (often two to three), with an occasional day or two between poops.

When your baby starts eating solids – at around 6 months old – you'll notice a dramatic change in their poop's color and texture (it will probably be darker and thicker). Between 6 months and their first birthday, your baby may have two bowel movements daily.

If your baby hasn't pooped in two days, you may wonder if they're constipated. But unless this is very unusual for your baby, it could be just fine. Frequency isn't always a telltale sign.

Look for these signs that your formula-fed baby may be constipated:

The texture of their poop is hard. It may look pebbly, like little clay balls, or be large, firm, and formed. (It should be the consistency of peanut butter.)
Your baby strains for more than 10 minutes without pooping. (Straining alone isn't always a sign of constipation, though. Babies often strain with even the softest poops!)
There may be a little blood in your baby's poop, caused by straining and irritating the anus as it's passed.
Your baby is very fussy and seems very uncomfortable.
Your baby is spitting up more than usual.

Timing can also be a clue. Babies often become constipated once they start eating solids, if they're ill, or if they become dehydrated (from the heat or a fever or vomiting, for example).

Note that there are rare causes of newborn constipation that may be concerning. These include underlying conditions such as cystic fibrosis, Hirschsprung's disease, and hypothyroidism.

Your baby's healthcare provider will monitor your baby's bowel movements after birth – to make sure their digestive system is working properly and they've passed the meconium. If your baby develops problems with constipation later, especially if they have other symptoms such as vomiting, talk with their doctor.

What's Normal and What's Not

If there’s one universal parenting truth, it’s that you’re going to be talking about baby poop a lot. (Cue questions: How often should a newborn poop? How can you help baby poop? What does green baby poop mean? What exactly should normal baby poop look like?) And while it may not be a typical topic of conversation for the dinner table, it’s something you’ll find yourself thinking about all the time. Baby’s poop—the color, consistency and amount—can provide important clues into the health of your infant, says Wendy Sue Swanson, MD, a pediatrician and chief medical officer at SpoonfulOne.

Another reason why it’s a perpetual theme throughout the diaper years? Because baby’s poop habits change all the time. In fact, when it comes to baby poop, there’s a whole spectrum of what’s considered the norm. There are a lot of factors that can contribute to color, consistency and frequency. What’s normal for a breastfed baby (i.e. mustard-like poop) may not be normal for a formula-fed baby (soft and yellow, green or brown-ish). A little one that’s eating solid foods will also have a baby poop that’s very different from an infant that’s still exclusively breastfeeding or formula-feeding. Suffice to say, baby’s poop will evolve and so will your idea of “normal.”

So what is considered normal baby poop—and when should you be concerned? We’ll help you sort it all out with our comprehensive baby poop guide. Here’s what to expect from that first diaper change, all the way up through potty training.

Types of Baby Poop When to See the Doctor

Baby’s First Poop

Unlike many of your child’s milestones, you likely won’t take a picture of baby’s first poop—but it’s an important one. Usually sticky and darkish green-black in color, baby’s first poop is called meconium and is made up of everything baby ingested in utero, including amniotic fluid, skin cells and water. But within the first few days of life, your newborn’s poop should progressively get more watery and lighter in color. If it doesn’t, or if baby isn’t consistently pooping in the first few days of life, it could be a sign that they’re not getting proper nutrition and need a follow-up visit with the pediatrician, Swanson says.

How Often Should a Newborn Poop?

In the first four to six weeks of life, regardless of whether your infant is breastfed or formula-fed, you should expect your newborn to poop after nearly every feeding, Swanson says. And depending on whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding or combination feeding, the stools will likely look different. Breastfed baby poop is often yellow, seedy and runny, while a formula-fed baby’s poop may be darker and thicker.

After six weeks, as baby’s digestive tract develops, their poop habits may change. How often should a newborn poop? It depends. While one to three times or more a day is a benchmark, it’s common for breastfed babies to not poop as frequently as formula-fed babies.

How often should a breastfed baby poop?

Is your breastfed baby not pooping? Don’t panic. Because breast milk is digested differently than formula, it’s not unusual for a breastfed baby to pee regularly (creating six to eight wet diapers a day) but not poop for several days. “It’s common for a breastfed baby to go two or three days without pooping, and it’s possible for them to go up to seven days,” Swanson says. If your breastfed baby isn’t pooping, it’s more important to watch their demeanor than their diapers. If they seem content and their belly is soft, they’re likely fine. But if their belly feels rigid or baby seems uncomfortable, it could be a sign they’re constipated, Swanson adds.

How often should a formula-fed baby poop?

Formula-fed babies tend to have poop that’s a bit darker and firmer than breastfed baby poop. Their poop may be the consistency of hummus and color can range from yellow to greenish-brown or tan. Formula-fed babies will likely poop at least once a day; if they don’t poop for two or more days, it could signal constipation. Equally important is the consistency of baby’s poop. “Log or pellet-like shapes could indicate constipation,” Swanson says. It’s important to address this with your pediatrician, since constipation could mean an allergy or be a sign that it’s time to try another brand of baby formula.

Baby Poop Color: What Does It Mean?

When it comes to assessing potential health issues, a pediatrician often checks baby’s poop color. Before you panic, remember that what goes in must come out—especially for babies who are beginning to eat table food. In other words, if baby has beets for lunch, you’re probably going to see red in a few hours. Still, pediatricians agree it’s smart to keep tabs on the colors you see. If you do spot something unusual, bag up the diaper and bring it along to your appointment—it can help a doctor make an assessment. From green baby poop to red, orange, black and beyond, here’s what each baby poop color could mean:

Green baby poop

With formula-fed infants, it’s normal for baby poop to be a greenish-tan color. Sometimes the iron in baby formula can cause dark green baby poop and isn’t a reason for concern. Green baby poop can also signal teething or that baby is getting over a stomach bug. If baby has green poop and is also fussy at feedings or seems gassy and uncomfortable, it could be a sign they have a cow’s milk allergy and are reacting to the formula, Swanson says, which means you should consult your doctor about other options. For a breastfed baby, green baby poop might signal something else. “Bright green baby poop in a breastfed infant, especially if it’s frothy, may mean they’re getting too much foremilk and not enough of the fattier hindmilk,” Swanson says. Try keeping baby on one breast per feeding or hand express a bit of milk before letting them latch and see if this solves the problem.

White baby poop

If baby is still being breastfed or formula-fed, chalky, whitish or gray baby poop definitely warrants a call to the pediatrician, since it can be a sign the liver isn’t functioning the way it should be.

Orange baby poop

Many of baby’s first solid foods can result in orange-colored baby poop (think: carrots and sweet potatoes). A breastfed baby may also have orange-ish tinted stool if Mom has been on medication or been eating artificially colored foods, since the dyes may make their way into breast milk. Orange poop generally doesn’t indicate a problem, but if you’re worried, call your pediatrician, Swanson says.

Red baby poop

Flecks of red are no big deal. If you’re breastfeeding, there might be tiny amounts of blood baby swallowed from cracks in your nipple. Red flecks might also appear if baby is constipated and straining too hard to poop. If you’re just starting baby on table foods, you may have to play diet detective to suss out any food culprits. Stools that look genuinely bloody or are bright red may indicate an infection, allergy, GI injury or other medical concern and should be addressed immediately.

Black baby poop

If a newborn’s poop is still looking black by day three, it may be a sign they’re not getting adequate nutrition or digesting milk the way they should. If you see black poop when baby’s a bit older, it could be caused by iron in their diet, which is no big deal. If baby isn’t taking an iron supplement and the poop looks black, it could be a sign of GI tract bleeding and should be seen by a doctor. “But it’s not red!” you say? Blood actually turns from red to black as it travels through baby’s intestines, according to Madhavi Kapoor, MD, clinical assistant professor in the department of pediatrics at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Yellow baby poop

Mustard yellow is a normal baby poop color for both breastfed and formula-fed infants. If baby’s stool is bright yellow, the color change could be a result of medications or food eaten by Mom.

Gray baby poop

If baby is eating solids, poop may be gray depending on what your child ate, Swanson says. If baby hasn’t yet started table food, then it’s important to assess, as it could indicate a liver or gallbladder problem.

How to Help Baby Poop

Before having a baby, you probably never imagined you’d wish for a dirty diaper. But a poop can provide sweet relief for an uncomfortable baby and a worried parent. There are a few common reasons why baby is not pooping: Dehydration, eating starchy foods like bananas, a time shift due to traveling or occasionally an allergy or intolerance. In older babies, especially those on the cusp of potty training, withholding poop can be psychological—they may be afraid of the potty or upset over an external issue, like a caregiver change or thrown-off schedule.

Luckily, many at-home remedies to help baby poop are simple, effective and recommended by pediatricians—but it’s best to use them only occasionally. “I warn parents not to become dependent on a ‘trick’ to make a baby poop,” Swanson says. “If it’s a persistent problem, it’s something I like to see in the office.”

Here are some ideas on how to get a newborn to poop, as well as what to do when an older baby is not pooping .

• Bicycle legs. Peddling an infant’s legs to and from their chest, as if they’re riding a bicycle, can be a gentle way to stimulate your child’s digestive system, Swanson says. Older babies generally don’t need this trick, since crawling, climbing and pulling up to stand help keep things moving.

• Warm bath. The warmth and stimulation of the water can relax muscles and help baby poop.

• Rectal stimulation. For occasional use only, Swanson suggests gentle rectal stimulation by gently inserting a rectal thermometer or using a gas-relieving product, such as Fridababy’s Windi ($13, Fridababy.com). However, Swanson cautions this shouldn’t become your go-to trick. “If used too often, the baby may become reliant on rectal stimulation to poop. ”

• Water or juice. Constipation can be a sign of dehydration. If baby has started eating solids, offering a few ounces of water or pear juice may help move things along. Constipation may also be a sign baby needs to nurse more or be offered a bottle more regularly. If you’re at all concerned, talk to your pediatrician.

• Glycerin suppositories. Another occasional-use tool, Swanson says glycerin suppositories can be helpful for constipation. Ask your doctor first, especially if baby is younger than a year.

• The four P’s: Prunes, plums, peaches and pears. These four fruits are a great natural way to help baby poop. If baby has started solids, add a serving or two into your child’s daily diet to keep things moving.

• Veggies. The high-fiber content in vegetables makes them all-stars when it comes to dealing with constipation.

• Whole grains. When planning baby’s meals, try incorporating some whole grains: Brown rice, whole-wheat pasta and multigrain cereals or bread maximize bran intake, which can help soften stool and make it easier for baby to poop.

Is it normal for baby to grunt?

If you hear baby making grunting noises, don’t fret. They’re just learning how to have a bowel movement. Infants let out moans and groans as they go; their abdominal muscles aren’t very strong yet, so pooping requires more effort and energy and engages the diaphragm, resulting in some sound effects. It’s not uncommon to see babies straining or making faces while they’re at it too. This is completely normal, and doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem like constipation.

Types of Baby Poop

While it’s normal to get a teeny bit less obsessive over every single diaper change as baby grows, it’s still important to keep an eye out for potential problems and warning signs. While some odd consistencies may have a simple explanation (hello, raisins!), others may need to be discussed with your doctor. Here are some types of baby poop to watch out for:

Diarrhea

In infancy, loose stools can be a sign of an allergy, either to the milk proteins in formula or, if you’re breastfeeding, to something you ate. As baby gets older, watery stools may be a sign of teething (baby is swallowing more saliva, leading to runnier poop), but could also be a sign of a stomach bug. In that case, keeping your child hydrated with plenty of water or milk is essential. If the diarrhea is accompanied by a fever of 100.4 or higher, or baby is younger than 3 months old, it’s a good idea to call your pediatrician, Kapoor says.

Blood in baby stool

While a few flecks can be normal, anything more than that should be brought to your pediatrician’s attention. “Blood in the stool could be caused by constipation, infection, injury or allergy, so going to the doctor is essential,” Kapoor says.

Mucus in baby stool

A common sign of teething or a cold, occasional mucus is no big deal. However, “if you notice it frequently or in large amounts, it could be a sign of a GI tract issue and should be discussed with your pediatrician,” Kapoor says.

Stringy baby poop

A cousin to mucus, stringy baby poop could be a sign of a cold or teething, or just the result of something baby has been eating. If it shows up frequently in baby’s diaper, it’s a good idea to call your pediatrician.

Foamy baby poop

“In a breastfed infant, foamy stool may be a sign that baby is getting too much foremilk,” Kapoor says. For an easy solve, try completing a feeding on just one breast. In a formula-fed baby, frothy baby poop could indicate an infection or allergy.

Pebble-like stool

This is a classic sign of constipation or withholding stool in older babies. Try some home constipation cures and go to the doctor if baby doesn’t poop within the next 24 hours.

Doctors agree that if you see anything unusual, spot a baby poop problem accompanied by a high fever or if baby is crying inconsolably, you should call the doctor, who can help guide you through possible causes and next steps. And don’t be shy about bagging the diaper for your doctor’s inspection. “We see it all the time, and we aren’t disgusted,” Kapoor says. “It can help us best figure out what the issue may be. ”

When to See the Doctor

Yes, you can tell a lot about baby’s health by monitoring the color and consistency of their poop. But if you notice any of the following, you should consult your doctor for advice:

Breastfeed baby hasn’t pooped in over three days
Formula-fed baby hasn’t pooped in over five days
Baby poop is thick, hard or or pebbly
Baby poop is red or black
Baby poop is white, gray or clay-colored

In the coming days, weeks and months, you’ll likely take up a mission to analyze the contents of your infant’s diaper; checking for normal baby poop is par for the course. The truth is: Everybody poops—and you want to make sure your little one is happy and healthy!

What should be the chair of a newborn on artificial and breastfeeding

Kizino Polina Aleksandrovna

pediatrician, perinatal psychologist

Green, frothy, thick stools - is this normal for a baby? What should be the normal stool of the baby and how to distinguish age-related changes from warning signs that require a visit to the doctor.

— Polina Alexandrovna, does the baby's stool differ on breast, mixed and artificial feeding?

— Normally, the stool in children of the first year of life on different diets is different.

- Newborn stool - what is considered normal?

— A newborn — a child of the first 28 days of life — undergoes a restructuring of the body and the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine independent life. And his chair will seem strange and unusual to many mothers - but this is not a pathology.

Original feces - meconium - has the consistency of a thick ink paste of dark green, almost black color.
2-3 days - transitional stool - partly dark green, with time it becomes mushy.
4-5 days — scattered stool — it includes a liquid part, white undigested lumps, sometimes streaks of mucus.
Days 12-14 — from the end of the second week, normal stool begins to form, which will remain unchanged in the future.

Every newborn goes through transitional states, because he begins to receive milk nutrition, proteins and fats enter his intestines. Naturally, the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract adjusts to the new nature of nutrition, and stool disorders may occur. In addition, the intestinal microflora undergoes changes: by the end of the first - the beginning of the second week, the pathogenic flora of the newborn is replaced by normal flora, and bifidobacteria generally begin to play a dominant role. These factors lead to significant changes in the chair, which should not be scared.

— What determines the shape and type of feces of a newborn and an infant?

- The nature of the stool depends on the characteristics of the child's digestive tract and the nutrition of the nursing mother - the baby may tolerate some foods better or worse.

If the baby is malnourished, the stool is less frequent, the consistency thickens.
If the mother diluted the mixture incorrectly - added more or less water - there will be a thickening or thinning of the stool.
If a child's drinking regimen is disturbed - the temperature is elevated, and he loses a lot of moisture, or the heat is on, and fluid reserves are not replenished, the stool may become more dense.

— Does the regularity of the stool in the first year of life change from month to month?

— The older the child gets, the less frequent bowel movements occur.

A newborn child has up to 8-10 stools. A bowel movement is possible after or during each meal - and this will be the norm.
Stools at 2 months normally have adequate intervals of 3-3.5 hours during the day and 4 hours at night. In the future, the nature of the chair reflects the nutrition of the child.
Stool from 5-6 months - dense 1-2 times a day or 1 time in two days; it is more decorated and looks like an adult's chair.

— Does the stool change during feeding?

— The baby's stool normally becomes denser with the start of the introduction of complementary foods. This does not happen immediately - complementary foods are introduced gradually, in microdoses, and when the portion is brought to the age norm, the stool changes its character more clearly. If complementary foods are introduced quickly with large doses, the child's body will not have time to cope with the new food and react with constipation. With intolerance and an allergic reaction, after the introduction of new products, it is possible to thin the stool with the appearance of streaks of blood or mucus - this is an alarm signal that requires a medical examination. For complementary foods, you need to choose foods according to the age of the child, because not everything is suitable for the first acquaintance with new food.

— How often should a baby have a bowel movement?

- For a small child who receives only milk nutrition, the stool rate is a floating concept. It is necessary to build on what is normal for a particular child: this applies to the regularity, consistency, and color of the stool.

Chair norm

A chair eight to ten times a day is normal, if the newborn is comfortable, he is calm and he always has such a frequency of stool.
A chair once a day or once every two days is the norm, if the child is calm, he does not strain constantly and poops on his own.
Stool with undigested lumps is normal if the child's condition is in order.

Abnormal chair

If a child has a stable stool eight times a day for two months, but suddenly he stops pooping within one or two days, this is not the norm.
The chair is stable once a day, but suddenly the bowel movements occur for the sixth time in the last four hours - this is not the norm.

Any deviation from the norm and anxiety of the child requires examination by a pediatrician to rule out pathology.

The stool norm for a child of the first year of life is quite wide - its color and consistency may be different. The most important thing is to understand your child's stool pattern so that you can evaluate if stools are more frequent or rarer than usual. Mucus in the stool, frothy stools in the baby, and small single streaks of blood in the stool are not critical, but require the child to be examined by a doctor. The presence of scarlet blood in the stool several times in a row, the tarry color of the stool of the baby, prolonged diarrhea are indications for immediate medical attention.

* Breast milk is the best food for babies. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of a child's life and continued breastfeeding after complementary foods are introduced until the age of 2 years. Before introducing new products into the baby's diet, you should consult with a specialist. The material is for informational purposes and cannot replace the advice of a healthcare professional.

Constipation in a formula-fed or mixed-fed newborn

Of course, the ideal food for babies is breast milk, which, in addition to the main nutrients, contains prebiotics (which stimulate the growth of beneficial microflora in the intestines), digestive enzymes (break down food into the simplest substances that are then absorbed into the body) and other useful for the intestines substances ¹ .

Constipation in breastfed babies is uncommon ² . If constipation still occurs, then how best to help the baby? First of all, the mother’s diet should be adjusted, especially if she also periodically encounters such a phenomenon as constipation. It is better to reduce the consumption of semolina and rice porridge, whole milk, muffins, refined foods, coffee, cocoa, black tea ³ . These products can lead to constipation in the mother, and therefore in the baby.

Also, it is better to exclude foods that contribute to excessive gas formation from the diet of a nursing mother:

tomatoes;
legumes;
mushrooms;
black bread;
cabbage.

In addition, massaging the baby's tummy can help.

An unpleasant phenomenon - constipation in a child - can also be faced by young mothers whose babies are bottle-fed. Do not panic, because constipation with artificial feeding is quite common ² . First of all, it is worth finding out the causes of constipation, as well as methods for eliminating or preventing this problem.

How do you know if your baby is constipated?

Normally, in a newborn baby who is breastfed, the intestines are cleared after each feeding (8–9 times a day). But the same baby, fed with an artificial mixture, has a stool 1-4 times a day. As the baby grows older, the frequency of his stool decreases, and the amount of stool increases ⁴ .

But it is worth remembering that each baby has its own rhythm of bowel cleansing. The most important thing is the general condition of the child. If the newborn is calm, has a normal temperature, does not suffer from increased gas formation, defecation is painless, and the consistency of the stool is soft, then even irregular stools are not a cause for concern. In this case, we are not talking about constipation in a child with artificial feeding ¹ .

Causes of constipation

Causes of constipation in children under one year old (both bottle-fed and breast-fed with complementary foods) can be ¹ :

lack of vegetable fiber products;
insufficient drinking regimen;
introducing complementary foods too quickly;
incorrect choice of milk mixture;
excess fat in food;
frequent and quick transitions from one mixture to another;
deviations in the work of the intestines;
violations of the intestinal microflora due to infectious diseases, the appointment of drugs.

Prevention of constipation in babies

To prevent constipation, you should try to keep breastfeeding your baby as long as possible.

Transfer to artificial nutrition should be smooth.
If your baby becomes constipated when switching to formula milk, it is better to try to choose a different food.
It is important to know that with artificial feeding the child needs an additional volume of liquid, so between feedings he needs to be given boiled water.
Improves baby's digestion and clockwise massage of the tummy, as well as walks, meals strictly on the clock and many positive emotions.

If all of the above does not help, you can try a laxative.

Laxative Dufalac® has a high safety profile, it can be used in children from the first days of life ⁵ . Duphalac has a double action: it gently cleanses the intestines and restores its microflora, establishing regular stools ⁵ .
