Patient's question:
20 days ago, it was 2 to 4 times a day. Now, after a month, it's only once a day, and the amount isn't much. Is this normal? How can I regulate the baby's bowel movements? Also, the stomach makes gurgling sounds every day.Doctor's answer:
A one-month-old baby typically has about 2 to 3 bowel movements a day. If physiological diarrhea occurs, the number of bowel movements may increase, sometimes up to 10 times a day. If the stool test results are normal, it will not affect the baby's nutrient absorption. In your baby's case, it is likely physiological diarrhea, which can be managed with medication. It is recommended to take probiotics. If the baby is in good spirits, there is no need to take medication.
