My ebf 3 1\2 week old daughter poops constantly! I can change her every hour and she is poopy every time. Then she poops on the changing table. Then an hour later. Literally, every single time we check her.....Is this normal??

Absolutely!

It was for us! My first 2 kiddos would poop at the end of a nap. My third, now 9 wks, would poop after he nursed and just fell asleep. So frustrating! It It will become less frequent. Ds now makes it through the night without pooping usually and has about 3 poops before noon.

I'm typing on my iPhone, sorry.

My DS poo'd after every "meal"... Breastmilk or solids until he was about 8/9 months old... So in those early day's it felt like around the clock!

My dd did that until 5-6 weeks when she started easing off. Now she poops once or twice in the morning every day. Once in awhile she'll toss in a random afternoon poop, but not every day. The best is when you are literally at the door to leave the house and hear that squishy farting sound and she just grins up at you. She did that this morning as we were leaving for our walk. What a turd!

I took DD2 to the hospital due to constipation, and was told as part of the conversation with the pedi that breastfed babies poop ranges from once every hour or two to once every ten days.

Yep, we were constantly calling the doctor after the first few days because dd was going days without pooping and would get really cranky and gassy the day before and day she would finally poop. Few weeks and we relaxed about it and counted- every 5 days she would poop like clockwork. We'd always be like "it's poop day" and they were huge poops! Last month (5 months) she started going more often rarely twice a day, sometimes once a day for a few days straight. Right now pattern seems to be every other day between 6 and 8 am I can't complain- nice not having tons of poop diapers!
