Breastfeeding and Human Lactation , Riordan and Auerbach , page 242
states:

"29+ day old infant will have milk stool 1 every 4 - 12 days , copious
amount" and "Occasionally infants may go as long as 3 - 4 weeks between
copious stools"

-- "After the first month to six weeks of life , however, the totally
breastfed baby's stool pattern changes again. The frequency of stooling
gradually declines and the volume of stool increases each time.  The
color of the stool remains the characteristic mustard-yellow color and
the odor remains the same a well." "Many infants stool only once every 4
- 12 days on average (Weaver,Ewig and Taylor, 1988)"
