5month old not pooping regularly

2025-06-19 02:22:48
My daughter is 5months old now. She used to poop regularly, but since 3months, it’s become irregular. She’s on lactulose, and usually poops daily or every other day, but sometimes goes 3 days without. Poop is soft, and she’s happy and active. Is this normal? Should lactulose make her poop every day?
