The amount of stool from the child is large, but the frequency is not high. The child has been drinking beverages. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taking Jinduobiqi. How to assist: Is the medication appropriate? Can supplementary foods be added? Thank you!...

Doctor's answer:

Characteristics of normal stool and feeding methods About. Breastfed infants' stools are golden yellow, occasionally slightly green and relatively loose; or they may be like soft paste, uniform and consistent, with an acidic smell and no foam. Usually, infants have more frequent bowel movements during the newborn period, typically 2 to 5 times a day, but some infants may have 7 to 8 bowel movements a day. As the child grows older, the frequency of bowel movements will gradually increase, and after 2 to 3 months, the number of bowel movements will increase to 1 to 2 times a day. Therefore, if a breastfed infant has loose stools and more frequent bowel movements again, as long as the infant is in good spirits and eating well, and the weight gain is normal, there is no need for parents to worry.
