My baby, who was born prematurely, has started having frequent bowel movements, with five bowel movements a day.

Patient's question:

My baby started having more bowel movements after being born prematurely, with 5 to 6 times a day, and the color is green and yellow. Is this normal? Since the day before yesterday, my baby has been having 5 to 6 bowel movements a day, with green and yellow colors, and I don't know what this situation is. I would like to ask the experts what is causing this and how to solve it. How can I make my baby's bowel movements decrease?

Doctor's answer:

The most common reason for abnormal bowel movements in babies is indigestion. It is recommended to take probiotic medications orally, such as Baole'an, half a bag at a time, three times a day, with warm water. At the same time, take infant stomach-strengthening powder, half a bag at a time, twice a day. This advice is for the question "My baby, who was born prematurely, started having frequent bowel movements the day before yesterday and has been having five bowel movements a day." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
