Is it normal for a baby to have three bowel movements a day?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. By the way, is it normal for the baby to have three bowel movements a day?

Doctor's answer:

If there are no symptoms of diarrhea, it is likely that the problem is not serious and may be related to indigestion. Oral treatment with pepsin granules and lactase is recommended.
If the baby's stool contains blood, it could be a sign of mild intestinal inflammation. I suggest taking the baby to the hospital for a routine stool test to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment. If it is indeed the case, the baby can take cephalexin granules and Mimi Ai. During this period, it is important to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy, greasy, cold, or irritating foods. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
