Patient's question:
A 6.5-month-old baby, who has been exclusively formula-fed, previously had one or two bowel movements per day. Recently, complementary foods were introduced, and now the baby has three bowel movements per day. The stool's consistency and color are normal, but after eating carrot puree mixed with rice porridge, the baby has a bowel movement shortly afterward. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it is still necessary to consider the actual circumstances. If the baby's overall mental state is good, it is likely that there is no problem. You can try making the carrot puree and mashed food slightly thicker. The above is advice for the question "Is it normal for a 6.5-month-old baby who is exclusively formula-fed to have three bowel movements a day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
