Patient's question:
Why does a baby have a lot of bowel movements every day since birth? It hasn't been treated yet. How should I answer this??Doctor's answer:
Newborn babies generally have more bowel movements per day than adults. If the baby's bowel movements are normal in consistency and the frequency remains consistent each day, there should not be a major problem. Otherwise, it is necessary to take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a check-up, examining the stool to see if there is any inflammation, and then implementing treatment. It is also essential to pay close attention to preventing colds and ensuring the child does not catch a cold. Sometimes, if the child catches a cold or has poor digestion, it can also lead to an increase in bowel movements.
