Patient's question:
Every 3 hours after eating formula, they have a bowel movement. From 8 PM last night until now, the formula hasn't been changed. The poop is yellow (which is the normal color of stool) and not runny. Is this normal? They had some oxygen deprivation at birth and just came home from the hospital yesterday.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it should be a normal phenomenon. Newborn babies have small stomachs, eat little, and urinate and defecate more frequently. As they grow older, the frequency of urination and defecation increases, and they also eat more. The color of the stool you mentioned is also normal. Some babies may not adapt to a certain formula and have diarrhea when they eat it, which is relatively loose. If you switch back to a formula, you can rely on it. Frequent changes in formula can also cause diarrhea in babies. The above is advice on the question "Is it normal for a newborn baby who is half a month old to have yellow poop when eating formula?" I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
