What should I do if my baby, who is exclusively breastfed, has frequent bowel movements?

Patient's question:

The baby is 14 days old. She started pure breastfeeding yesterday and has already had a lot of bowel movements, about 8-9 times a day. The color is dark green, with occasional streaks of blue, and mostly yellow. She has barely woken up, mostly sleeping naps, and has been feeding on breast milk quite frequently.

Doctor's answer:

Feeding the baby requires attention to hygiene. Always keep the nipple clean and ensure hand hygiene after changing the baby's diapers. Since the baby's stool is influenced by the mother's milk, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, and avoid fried and junk foods. Maintain a regular diet, drink less cold beverages, and can take one pack of triple live bacteria bifidobacterium granules orally, twice a day. Take it 30 minutes after feeding with warm water.
