What kind of stool is considered normal for a two-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

How many times should a two-month-old baby have a bowel movement in a day? Three days ago, they had one bowel movement, yesterday they had two, and this morning they had another one, which is a bit runny. Is this normal? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, a baby should have 1-2 bowel movements per day, but the frequency should not be too high to prevent nausea and vomiting. According to your description, this condition in the baby is not normal. It is recommended to reduce the amount of milk fed to the baby, which is generally alleviated. You can give the child probiotics to regulate the intestines, which may be caused by damaged intestinal mucosa. Probiotics have no side effects on children and help promote intestinal health, improving digestion and absorption.
