Patient's question:
The baby is now 5 months and 20 days old. Since birth, it has been particularly prone to bowel movements, and now it still has 5-6 bowel movements a day. Two months ago, we started taking the baby to the doctor. We have tried many different medications, but none of them have been effective. The first month, we tried giving the baby formula for three days, and it had 1-2 bowel movements a day. As soon as we switched back to breastfeeding, the bowel movements started again. However, the baby doesn’t like formula, and there is also too much breast milk that isn’t finished. What kind of condition does the baby have?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby is now five months old and has a bowel movement five to six times a day, which is normal. If the baby's weight and growth are developing normally, there is no need to worry. It may be due to indigestion of lactose and other components in breast milk. As the baby grows older, it will improve.The above is the advice for the question "The baby is now five months and twenty days old." I hope it helps you. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
