Managing irregular bowel movements in 6-month-olds

It is common for breastfed or combo-fed babies to have infrequent bowel movements, sometimes waiting 2-3 days between them. As long as the baby is active, feeding well, and shows no signs of distress or hard, painful stools, this is typically normal. Transitioning to solids will likely shift their digestive rhythm, so there is usually no need for concern unless your baby seems uncomfortable.
