Is it normal for a baby to have bowel movements several times a day when drinking formula?

Patient's question:

Diarrhea like egg drop. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Stayed in the hospital a few days ago due to cough, no allergy medication, no hereditary diseases. What kind of help is needed: How to stop diarrhea

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Your baby's condition is considered to be indigestion, often caused by factors such as cold exposure or unclean diet. The patient may experience varying degrees of abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, hyperactive bowel sounds, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent the condition.
It is advised that you pay attention to your baby's warmth, preventing cold exposure. Drinking warm water frequently, consuming more vegetable and fruit purees, and taking oral digestive aids like Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian and Zhengchang Sheng can be beneficial. Pay attention to a regular diet, eating small meals frequently, taking your baby outdoors more often, and getting more sun exposure. I hope my explanation brings you some help.
