But once babies are this age, it is on the normal spectrum for there 
to be many days between stools. No treatment  or intervention is 
needed.

We have had this discussion before on Lactnet and I know there is one 
subscriber who feels very strongly this this is not normal - but  the 
consensus among the rest of the 'Lactnet body' is that it is 
absolutely fine after the first weeks.
