Patient's question:
Please ask the experts if it is normal for a child to have frequent bowel movements (7-8 times a day) and urination (more than 15 times a day), or if there might be any issues.Doctor's answer:
If the infant's diet and condition are normal, there is no need to worry. Newborn infants' bowel movements are generally irregular, primarily focusing on whether the urine has a noticeable odor and whether the stool is yellow and soft. Bowel movements in the newborn period usually do not form into solid shapes. Breastfed infants tend to have more frequent bowel movements. If the stool contains green or white substances, it may indicate mild indigestion. The mother should pay attention to her diet and avoid eating raw, cold, or hard-to-digest foods.
