What is the reason for the baby having a bowel movement every two hours?

Patient's question:

2 months and 20 days, the baby averages a bowel movement every two hours. The stool is sometimes loose, sometimes a little granular, and sometimes a little green. The baby has been taking probiotics. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is preliminarily considered that it may be related to indigestion, intestinal dysfunction, or enteritis, etc. Since the baby's digestive system has not fully developed, it is easily affected by external environment, diet, viruses, bacteria, and other infections. It is recommended to pay close attention to carefully observe the baby's body temperature, mental state, changes in bowel movements, and pay attention to fluid digestion to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. After further examination in the hospital, targeted treatment should be provided.
