Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The frequency of bowel movements for each child is not important; they vary, with some having several times a day and others having once every few days. Infant stools are usually thick or slightly more viscous than ice cream and have no odor. Breastfed children rarely suffer from constipation because they can absorb almost everything, leaving very little waste, which also explains why children sometimes only have a bowel movement every three days.
