Why do two-month-old babies always have diarrhea?

Patient's question:

The little baby has been having diarrhea recently. Previously, it would occur every two or three days, but lately, it's been happening constantly, and the stool isn't as liquid as before. Why is this happening? I hope the doctor can give some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Baby's bowel movements have increased in frequency. If it does not affect their growth and development, it can be considered physiological diarrhea. Additionally, you can have the baby's stool tested for routine examination to check for any intestinal infections.
1. If the baby's bowel movements are frequent at this age, it is first recommended to consider physiological diarrhea. Generally, it does not affect the baby's growth and development, and it will gradually improve as solid foods are introduced.
2. If the frequency of bowel movements is high, you can have the baby's stool tested for routine examination to check for any intestinal infections. If it is due to indigestion, probiotics or infant stomach-strengthening powder can be given.
Wishing the baby healthy growth~
