A one-month-old baby, is it normal to have 4-5 bowel movements per day?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Actually, the frequency of bowel movements in normal children can vary significantly. Some may have several bowel movements a day, while others may have one every 3-5 days, as long as the stool is of a certain amount, not excessively dry or loose, and accompanied by no discomfort symptoms, it is considered normal. If your baby is experiencing no bowel movement difficulties, then this situation should be normal.
