I don't think it's unusual. I have 3 dcs and they have all been daily or every other day at this age. I have friends whose dcs have only gone once or twice a week and have been told by drs that this isn't unusual either...can't imagine the amount of it if this was the case!

Normal. Around that age my DD was going every 2 - 3 days. I understand that poos might be less frequent in breastfed babies as it's such a complete food and is mostly absorbed by the body, with less to pass through iyswim.
