Patient's question:
Newborn at 28 days, breastfed. Suddenly had increased bowel movements today, from early morning to now, about eight or nine times. The stool is yellow, a bit runny, and has a slightly sour smell. Sometimes it feels like a little bit of poop comes out when passing gas.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the newborn's bowel movements are more frequent and looser than usual. The first consideration is indigestion, and probiotics can be taken orally, such as Sanlian Huobing San (a triple live bacteria powder). If the baby is breastfed, the condition of the bowel movements is directly related to the mother's diet. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does a newborn have frequent bowel movements with an acidic smell?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
