You may try to space out your baby's feedings to 4-5 times a day. Up to 32 ounces each day is normal for bottle-feeding infants. If your baby is only breast-fed, or if you use well water, extra fluoride may be needed. Breast-fed infants may also need extra iron. Do not feed your child honey or corn syrup until at least 1 year old.
Infants can have one to several bowel movements in a day.
They may even skip a day or two. As long as the stools are not hard, your baby is not constipated. Also, stool color may vary from green to yellow to brown. If your baby is ill and not eating well, fewer than four wet diapers a day may mean that he or she is becoming dehydrated. Call your baby's care provider.
