How many nappies does your 4month old baby produce?

What is a normal amount of wet/dirty nappies for a 4 month baby? I feel like mine isn't producing that many? Google says 10+ but my baby boy is not close to that!

Some days he doesn't poop or if he does it will be one or two for a full day they're not huge (sometimes they are but most of the time not really) he's breast fed.

The only time his nappy is soaking is on a morning after a long sleep. When I change him usually you can tell his peed a bit but never seems much? Idk if I'm over thinking it? I think I'm more on 4/5 nappies a day.

Every baby varies but this sounds normal to me. Perfectly OK for a breastfed baby to not poo for a few days too. If you have concerns or worried he's not weeing enough then speak to GP or HV

It depends how often you change your baby. I don't like mine to sit in a wet nappy very long and because their bladders are very small, they pee small amounts often. I change her every couple of hours and then she goes through the night so we reach 10 in a day.

She poops once, sometimes twice a day.

10+ seems excessive to me. I'd say at that age DD would do a poo maybe 2-3 times a day but not uncommon to not go from one day to the next & I would change her nappy about every 2-3 hours in the day anyway for wee.

I have a 4mo BF baby. Dirty nappy usually once a day, maybe once every two days. Wet ones at every change. I change him probably every 3-4 hours. Every baby and their digestive system/transit time is different.

Probably about 7 changes between 7am-10pm I tend to change before a feed and then additionally for dirty ones
