How should I handle it if the baby has a bowel movement 3 times a day?

Patient's question:

The baby is 1.5 years old. Yesterday and today, the baby had bowel movements 3 times a day, once in the morning, noon, and evening, which used to be every morning. Sometimes the baby has two bowel movements a day, but yesterday and today, the baby had 3 bowel movements. However, all of them were formed stools. The baby shows no abnormalities.

Doctor's answer:

This situation should be related to the baby's diet. If the baby drinks more water, eats more fruits, or gets cold, it may lead to an increase in bowel movements. If the stool is well-formed, you can wait and see. If the baby's stool has no mucus or is green, it is normal soft stool. Pay close attention to the baby's diet hygiene and overall hygiene. You can temporarily eat something light and easy to digest.
Based on your description, the above advice is for the question "Baby is 1.5 years old. Yesterday and today, they had 3 bowel movements." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
