Patient's question:
Is it normal for a newborn's lips to peel and have bowel movements 10 times a day?Doctor's answer:
Several bowel movements a day in a baby are very common. This is because the baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed. If the baby is eating well, sleeping soundly, and not crying or fussing, there is no need to worry. If you are still concerned, it is recommended to test the baby's stool. If the problem is poor digestion, probiotics or a combination of Mamei Ai and Smecta can be taken. If there is inflammation, antibiotics such as Cefixime combined with Smecta are suggested. If the baby is breastfed, it is also important for the mother to pay attention to her diet and hygiene, and to avoid spicy or irritating foods as much as possible.
