Patient's question:
Okay, here is the English translation, following your instructions:It's a combination of breast milk and formula. He has bowel movements many times every day. After the full moon, it was basically all breast milk feeding. Since then, he's had bowel movements every few days, but his stools are normal – not runny and not dry. At 4 months, we started slowly introducing solid foods, giving him some juice and yellow yolk. His bowel movements are still every few days. Recently, he had some lamb soup and tripe, and we also gave him some fruit and yellow yolk. He hasn't had diarrhea, and he's still having bowel movements every few days like before. Does this mean he's absorbing well?
Doctor's answer:
Children usually have one or two bowel movements a day, or once every two days, which is normal. Pay attention to nursing care, and the food should be eaten warm. Generally, after introducing complementary foods, the child's bowel movements will become normal.Suggestions: You can give your child a small amount of Mamei (a probiotic supplement), or gently massage their abdomen in a clockwise direction. If bowel movements occur only every few days, it may indicate some constipation, and the child should drink more water.
The above advice is for the question "How often should a baby have a bowel movement?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
