Patient's question:
A baby around 40 days old, primarily fed with formula milk, occasionally suckling some breast milk. Eating, sleeping, and overall condition are all good. The baby's stool is yellow, sometimes with a little bit of curd, but there are five or six bowel movements in a whole day and night. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
A baby around 40 days old, if their bowel movements are regular and well-formed, even if they occur five or six times a day, is still within the normal range. The reappearance of small amounts of curdled milk is usually caused by indigestion. If the amount continues to increase, probiotics or other medications can be used for regulation. The above advice is for the question "Is it normal for a 40-day-old baby to have five or six bowel movements a day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
