Patient's question:
I am 26 years old this year, and I just had a baby recently. I don't know much about parenting knowledge. My friend said that baby poop is very important. Could you please ask: How many times should a 40-day-old baby have a bowel movement in a day?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, a one-month-old baby should have 1 to 2 bowel movements per day. The color of the stool should be yellow or light yellow, which mainly depends on the amount of milk the child consumes. After the full moon, the baby's bowel movements are generally not less than three times. If it is less than three times, it may indicate indigestion or intestinal inflammation caused by a cold in the abdomen. A stool test can be performed to confirm.
