Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. My baby is now four months old and usually has one to two bowel movements a day, or sometimes two to three times a day. Recently, for the past week, she has been having five to six bowel movements a day, with it being worse at night. Sometimes it has foam, and sometimes it's green. A few times at night, there are curds in her stool. She has been exclusively breastfed.Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is clearly digestive disorder diarrhea. The egg-like appearance of the stool is a typical symptom of digestive disorder, caused by improper feeding—such as overfeeding the child at each meal or abdominal cold. For newborns who are breastfed, the normal number of bowel movements per day should be 3 to 5, and the color should be yellow, with soft stools. Green, egg-like, or other abnormal stools are not normal.
