Why does the baby have a bowel movement after eating complementary foods at eight months?

Patient's question:

Baby is eight months old and has started complementary feeding. After eating, they have a bowel movement once a day, four to five times. They don't have diarrhea. Is this normal? What should be done? Their health condition was previously good. Starting on the 15th, they have had a bowel movement four to five times a day. There is no history of previous treatment and its effectiveness.

Doctor's answer:

According to what you described about the baby being normal, it is considered that the baby may have indigestion, which is related to a weak spleen and stomach. Regarding the baby's current condition, if the baby is alert, sleeps deeply, and has a good appetite, it is recommended to give the baby oral probiotics and Xingspi Yang'er Granules. The supplementary food can be slightly increased, and the formula milk can be given a bit more. This solution should be carefully observed for a few days. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you health and happiness.
