Patient's question:
The baby is now six and a half months old and still has two to three bowel movements a day, sometimes three to four. Is this normal? She is breastfed, and sometimes she also leaks milk. A few weeks ago, she had about a month where she only had bowel movements every four or five days, and when she did, they were like those of a big kid—very smelly. Now they are not smelly, just two to three bowel movements a day, sometimes three to four. I don’t know if this is normal.Doctor's answer:
Based on the baby's current symptoms, it is considered that poor digestion has led to intestinal heat accumulation. In this case, treatment can involve appropriately administering oral digestive aids and medications that promote gastrointestinal motility, such as lactase tablets. The above advice is for the question "Does it normal for the baby to have six months old and still have two to three bowel movements a day, sometimes three to four times?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
