My son is 4 1/2 months old. He recently started only having 1-2 bowel movements a day and he used to have at least 5-6. I've read that this is normal. Is it really? Thanks

totally normal! Eventually it'll drop to 1/day (average, some days might be 0 and others 2).

Yes it's completely normal some breastfed babies can go 7-10 days without having a bowel movement.
