What is the reason for the baby having a bowel movement after having a bowel movement?

Patient's question:

Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Indigestion
What kind of help do you want: Please explain what the reason is?

Doctor's answer:

The number of times a child has a bowel movement varies, but as long as it is soft and regular, it is normal. Even if it is five or six times a day, or soft bowel movements every two or three days, it is all normal.
It is recommended to gently massage the baby's lower abdomen before napping. Place your palm facing up and gently rub in a clockwise direction around the baby's navel. This can not only slow down the baby's intestinal movement, promoting bowel movements, but also help improve absorption.
Give the baby a little less each time, and eat small, frequent meals. Observe carefully. If it doesn't work, you can give the baby some probiotics to adjust the intestines.
