Doctor's answer:

Hello. The baby has frequent bowel movements. It's abnormal. The foul smell of the stool indicates poor protein digestion. Based on the description of the patient's condition, it is caused by poor gastrointestinal function and dysbiosis of the intestinal flora. It is related to the patient's constitution and gastrointestinal system. Early medication and dietary treatment are needed. It is recommended that the patient take medication to strengthen the spleen and probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. Additionally, oily foods should be avoided. More exercise and abdominal massage can promote gastrointestinal motility and improve digestion.
