How many times should a newborn baby have a bowel movement in a day?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I feel unwell, sometimes dizzy during the day, and it affects my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't work well. Could you please tell me how many times a day is normal for a newborn baby to have a bowel movement?

Doctor's answer:

1-2 times, because the baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, it is generally not advisable to feed them too much at one time to avoid disrupting their digestive function. You can give the baby oral Jianpi Granules and Mimi Ai to try. Feed them some water appropriately, and it will gradually improve. A hernia is an area of weakness or tear in the abdominal muscles, causing fat tissue or other organs like the intestines to protrude outward through this area, forming a noticeable bulge under the skin, accompanied by discomfort and pain. Symptoms become more pronounced during prolonged standing, urination, defecation, or when lifting heavy objects. There is no medication that can treat a hernia; the only treatment option is surgical repair of the defect.
