What color is normal for three infant bowel movements?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello. For a 3-month-old baby, if they are breastfed, the normal stool should be yellow and slightly loose. If they are formula-fed, the stool will be yellow and slightly dry, with a smell. There is no strict limit on the frequency, as long as it is similar to usual. It is recommended to continue feeding the baby as before. If they cry, pay attention to abdominal discomfort after defecation (you can use a hot water bag for warmth, but be careful to avoid burns and pressure on the baby) and whether there is a calcium deficiency.
