Patient's question:
My baby usually drinks milk and formula milk. Recently for the past 4 or 5 days, they have been defecating every two or three days. Previously, they used to defecate once a day. Will defecating every two days cause any discomfort or interference to the baby's body? How can I help adjust them back to their original condition? I care about how...Doctor's answer:
A child who defecates only twice a day can be affected. It may lead to toxins accumulating in the body, causing the body to become ill. It's important to check if the baby's usual formula feeding has a high "fire" (a term often used in Chinese medicine to describe internal heat). Additionally, apart from ensuring the child drinks enough water tomorrow, it is recommended that the mother add a supplement like "Everyday" to the formula. This way, the child's bowel movements will gradually normalize.Healthcare Advice: Wishing you a speedy recovery.
