Level 1: Baby’s bowel movements
After your baby is born, the frequency and color of his stool will change over time. Normally, newborns will defecate 2-3 times a day because they only drink milk and their digestion is not fully developed yet. As time goes by, the baby\’s digestion gradually matures, and the frequency of bowel movements will gradually decrease. Generally speaking, it is normal for a 2-month-old baby to have 1-2 bowel movements a day.
Level 2: The color of a 2-month-old baby’s stool
The color of your 2-month-old baby\’s stool may vary slightly depending on diet and other factors.

If your child\’s excrement has an abnormal color or smell, please consult your doctor promptly.
