A reminder: an article in Pediatrics (1987, I believe) reported a 4 mo old
exclusively breastfed baby who had 14 poos in 4 months, an average of one
every 27 days! Totally normal, ewell-gorwn kid.
The reason I recall that number so easily is for years I thought I had the
record: one mother and baby I helped reported (after keeping track) that
her baby pooped once every 25 days after the first month! Also one of
those roly-poly kids who clearly was getting tons of cream with every
sip/suck/slerp.
Def. of LC service: "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
