AUTHOR: wrkinmom
My son was almost 2 months old when his bowel movement decreased. The county nurse told me that it was normal as long as they have at least one in 2-3 days. She said that as babies get used to the milk, they have less bowel movements. When my son was born, he had a whole lotta poopie throughout the day (seemed like every other diaper change), but when he hit the 2 month mark, they suddenly decreased to once in 1-3 days. I don't think you need to worry or give your daughter kayro syrup (which was what the nurse told me I could do as well if I was worried). Just watch her and make sure she doesn't go over 4 days without a poopie :)

hope that helps.
