Should a child who has a bowel movement about 6 times a day go to the hospital?

Patient's question:

Doctor Cao, hello. My child is currently seven and a half months old. In the past month, he has been having about six bowel movements per day. Could you please tell me if it's necessary to take him to the hospital for this?

Doctor's answer:

If you feed the child unreasonably, it will cause indigestion and an increase in bowel movements.
Recommendation: You can use beneficial bacteria to regulate the intestinal flora to help improve your baby's digestion and absorption. If you use a navel stick for treatment, drink more sugar and salt water to avoid dehydration, and eat some light and easily digestible foods. This will help gradually return to normal.
