Baby is 4 and a half months old and has three bowel movements a day, what should I do?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me what to do if a baby who is four and a half months old has three bowel movements a day?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is normal for an infant to have 2-3 bowel movements a day. Based on your description, the child's loose stools with foam may indicate intestinal inflammation or indigestion. It is recommended to take Mamikai and Smecta for symptomatic treatment, and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, a routine stool examination can be done to confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment.
Hello, the baby's constipation is the cause. Since the child's digestive system is still developing, it is easy for constipation to occur. Don't worry, you can try feeding some honey water, and gently massage the baby's abdomen to help improve it gradually. If the stool doesn't come out for a long time, you can use suppositories to help the baby defecate. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
