Patient's question:
A female baby is 40 days old. She is eating, sleeping, and in good spirits. She is mainly fed with milk, and breastfeeding is just occasional, letting her suck occasionally. She has six or seven bowel movements in one whole night. Is it normal for her bowel movements to look like this?Doctor's answer:
According to your statement, your situation is related to the baby being too young and the active absorption function not being fully developed. Reappearance of this symptom may be due to catching a cold or something unsuitable recently. If breastfeeding, the mother's diet must be paid close attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Rest more and try to be lighter in diet. Additionally, if the frequency of feeding is high, water should be eliminated in a timely manner to avoid dehydration.
