Patient's question:
My baby hasn't been eating much recently, and in the past few days, he's been having six or seven bowel movements a day. They are very loose and yellow, and I've only been changing his diapers and giving him drinks. I'm very worried about my child, who is only three months old. There are also some foam on his stool.What kind of help is needed: I want to know what my three-month-old baby can eat to help relieve this.
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, a three-month-old baby having six to seven bowel movements a day may be due to breast milk-induced nausea and vomiting. If the baby is not breastfed but is on formula, then probiotics may need to be taken to regulate the stool. If there are bubbles in the stool, it could be due to trapped wind in the stomach, or it may also be that the mother has consumed too many starchy foods. Adjusting the diet a bit may help. The above is advice for the question "What should I do if my three-month-old baby has six to seven bowel movements a day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
