Is it normal for babies to have frequent bowel movements?

Patient's question:

Within nearly a day, there are 5~6 bowel movements, each a little bit, and they are relatively loose. What could be the reason? She mainly drinks breast milk and also eats commercially bought rice powder. Hello, is this related to breastfeeding? Is this situation urgent? What kind of assistance is needed: Please reply directly. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to try oral Shanzha Jianpi Koufuye and Huoxiang Chongji or Siwei Pishui Keli, and shorten the diaper changing interval time. Alternatively, dissolve the formula milk ratio to give the stomach and intestines a rest. Increase water intake and provide more supplementary foods. Once improved, gradually restore the full diet. Pay particular attention not to eat indigestible foods. Of course, it is best to carefully check the stool to see if there may be other possibilities besides inflammation. Paying attention to diet is very important. Otherwise, the effect may not be good.
