The baby has a bowel movement every two or three days.

Patient's question:

The baby has a bowel movement only once every three or four days. The stool is normal in color and not dry. The baby is exclusively breastfed and has been taking vitamin A and D capsules as prescribed by the doctor. Is it normal for the baby to have a bowel movement every three or four days? If it is not normal, what aspects should be paid attention to? How should it be treated? First follow-up question: the baby is 70 days old.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to the child's condition, it is not normal. You can try the following methods:
(1) Add some sugar to the milk appropriately, such as adding 10 grams of white sugar to 100 milliliters of milk.
(2) Give the child some honey water.
(3) Pay attention to giving the child high-vitamin supplementary foods such as fresh juice, vegetable water, and apple puree.
