Is it normal for a 6-month-old baby to have 5 bowel movements a day?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In infants aged 5 to 6 months, malignant diarrhea is almost no longer visible. It is usually overreacted, often causing the infant unnecessary suffering. The causes of diarrhea at this age can be roughly divided into two categories: one is caused by bacterial or viral infections, and the other is related to diet (eating too much or not eating enough).
