Patient's question:
My baby is over forty days old and always has bowel movements, and the stool has been green for the past two days. What could be the reason? How many times a day is it normal for a baby of this age to have bowel movements?Treatment history and effectiveness: None
What help do you expect: Please explain in detail.
Doctor's answer:
Over forty-day-old babies who are breastfed usually have five to six bowel movements a day, which is normal. If the baby has more frequent bowel movements and green stools, it may indicate digestive issues. First, it is recommended that the mother eat light and easily digestible foods, pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm, and give the baby oral medications to regulate gastrointestinal function, such as probiotics. The baby can also be given Shenling Bai Zhu Powder and probiotics for treatment. It is also important to regularly massage the lower abdomen in a clockwise direction.
