Patient's question:
My baby is three years old. The little one eats a lot and doesn't be picky about food, which actually saves me a lot of worry. Every time I see other parents chasing their kids to eat, I feel quite accomplished because our child has never been like that—always eating by himself. But the problem is that he has bowel movements too frequently, about three to four times a day, almost every time after eating. Is this normal? Is it normal for a child to have three to four bowel movements a day?Doctor's answer:
This phenomenon is not normal. One to two times a day is normal. Check if it's diarrhea. If the number of bowel movements increases, and the stool is yellow or slightly greenish and pasty, or runny, it indicates indigestion. You can give some digestive water to help, or some probiotics to rebalance the intestinal flora. Wishing the baby good health. The above is the advice for the question "Is it normal for a child to have three or four bowel movements a day?" Hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
