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 now seven and a half months old, and recently for the past month, he has been having about six bowel movements a day. Could you please tell me if it's necessary to take him to the hospital for having about six bowel movements a day?

Doctor's answer:

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