Patient's question:
The baby is 43 days old today and has been breastfed exclusively. Previously, the baby had been having 6-7 bowel movements a day, which were watery in consistency, and sometimes stool would also pop out during passing gas. However, now it doesn't matter how you try to comfort the baby, it starts crying again. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
First, when the baby is in the early stage, they have six to seven bowel movements a day, and it's watery and loose, which is not normal. This may indicate an intestinal function disorder. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should first eat less greasy food, then test the baby's stool, and finally seek medical attention if necessary. It's possible that the baby may experience intestinal function disorder again.
