Patient's question:
Just born 50 days, please ask what is the reason, how to prevent?Doctor's answer:
Hello. When the baby is breastfeeding, the stool can be relatively loose, and they may have 2-3 bowel movements a day. The color is usually yellow but can also be slightly green. The green color is due to poor bile reduction, which is not a problem. For the baby's bowel movements, if they have 2-3 bowel movements within 24 hours, and their weight increases by no less than two pounds or more each month, then it's not a concern. If the bowel movements suddenly increase to 4-5 times a day and the consistency also changes, it's important to pay attention to whether the baby is really experiencing diarrhea. If you can't make a proper judgment, you can send a stool sample for testing to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment.
