I can offer you personal experience on this from my exclusively  breastfed 
twins who, from the time they passed all meconium, began having a BM  once every 
10 days and it continued as such until solids were introduced.   Wettings 
were 12+ per day.  Steady pattern of gaining.  On a side  note, they are 
identical twins and they would actually both have the BM  within an hour of each other 
on this once every 10 day pattern.
