Is it normal for my three-and-a-half-month-old baby to have bowel movements several times a day?

Patient's question:

My baby is three and a half months old. She has many bowel movements a day. At night, she usually doesn't have a bowel movement. Occasionally, there are watery stools, but this happens rarely. Her poop is green.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described above, is your baby exclusively breastfed? If so, five to six bowel movements per day is normal, as long as they are not all watery. Green stools may indicate insufficient feeding. This is the advice for the question "How many bowel movements are normal for my three-month-old baby?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
