Patient's question:
A 3-month-old male baby was born weighing 3.1 kilograms and measuring 50 centimeters. Now he is 100 days old and weighs 5.7 kilograms and measures 60.6 centimeters. Is this normal? He is exclusively breastfed, and his bowel movements are very loose with a frequency of 5 to 6 times a day.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby's height and weight are normal. The frequent, loose bowel movements (5-6 times a day) may be caused by poor gastrointestinal function or indigestion. It is recommended to give the baby oral probiotics, pepsin, and compound enzyme tablets. Avoid overfeeding the baby and refrain from consuming spicy, greasy, or irritating foods. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 3-month-old exclusively breastfed baby has frequent, loose bowel movements (5-6 times a day)?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
