What is the reason for the baby's frequent bowel movements?

Patient's question:

Baby is 71 days old, a girl, and has been exclusively breastfed since birth. Since yesterday, she has been having bowel movements immediately after breastfeeding, with intervals not exceeding one minute. Previously, she had bowel movements once a day, sometimes twice a day. Over the past two days, she has been having a bowel movement after each feeding, but the amount each time is not much. I want to ask the doctor what could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, according to the situation you described, the current symptoms are considered to be caused by diarrhea. It is recommended to pay close attention to the current situation. Your little baby is breastfed, so it is necessary to pay attention to the mother's diet and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods. At the same time, pay attention to whether the child has caught a cold. Probiotics can be taken for treatment, and it is best to have the child examined by a pediatrician at the hospital.
