Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the defecation patterns of 1052 healthy infants up to 17 weeks old, focusing on factors like stool frequency and color.
- The findings showed that breastfed infants had more frequent bowel movements, with a peak frequency at 3 weeks, and a significant portion had green stools without indicating health issues.
- Understanding these patterns helps healthcare providers better identify what is normal in infant bowel habits, clarifying misconceptions about stool color and frequency related to feeding methods.
