Patient's question:
Today is exactly 60 days, and the number of bowel movements is still very high, about 7 or 8 times, and they are loose stools. I don't know if it's normal. I am breastfeeding. I heard that it's normal for babies at this stage to have 1 or 2 bowel movements a day.Doctor's answer:
Dear parent,If your child has been like this since birth with no significant changes, you don’t need to worry, but it’s necessary to have them checked for vitamin K and a routine stool examination at the hospital. It could also be due to infantile diarrhea. Some children have congenital lactose intolerance, which can indeed lead to more frequent bowel movements. This doesn’t need to be a major concern—just focus on ensuring your child gets proper nutrition.
