How old is your DD?
DS1 was like that as a baby, now he is a very regular toddler (about twice a day), DS2 poos about 6 times a day (he is 1), always has done, I was worried he was too regular but doctor and HV said it was good (not for the nappy bill it isn't!)

anything between three times a day and once every three days is normal, as long as there are no other problems.
