What kind of assistance do you need: I want to know what's wrongDoctor's answer:
Infant, 2 weeks old, has bowel movements 3-4 times a day. If the baby is drinking milk and sleeping deeply normally, this is a normal phenomenon. There is no need to worry too much. Because the baby is currently in a peak period of growth and development, digestion is fast. In normal breastfed babies, the number of bowel movements per day can be 4-6 times.Advice: If the baby is drinking milk and sleeping deeply normally, this is a normal phenomenon.
