How to deal with frequent bowel movements in babies

Patient's question:

The baby has been born for 3 months now. They have had 10 many bowel movements a day, sometimes with gas. The bowel movements are very loose, sometimes with just bubbles. They are exclusively breastfed and do not cry much. Is there any good way to treat this?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Taken probiotics, but it didn't work well.
What kind of help is needed: Any good methods for self-healing?

Doctor's answer:

The baby could also have a cold. If the odor of the stool is obvious, it indicates poor digestion of this protein, and the milk intake should be appropriately increased or the milk should be diluted. If there are many bubbles in the stool, it indicates poor digestion, and it may even be necessary to increase or even stop feeding starchy foods. The presence of curds suggests poor digestion and absorption.
Recommendations: It is recommended that you give the baby fish liver oil for digestion, which can enhance the absorption of calcium. Additionally, you can give the baby some probiotics. Probiotics are beneficial for adjusting the baby's intestinal flora, preventing issues like stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting, improving digestion and absorption, and stabilizing the baby's gastrointestinal function.
