Patient's question:
I've had diarrhea for three days. On the first day, I had green bowel movements, and I was given pearl powder, bentonite powder, infant stomach-strengthening powder, and also Probiotic. On the second day, my bowel movements turned yellow, but I still had them multiple times a day. Once, the stool had mucus.Doctor's answer:
Babies who are breastfed will have 2 to 4 bowel movements daily, appearing as yellow or golden yellow, creamy, with an acidic smell but no strong odor, sometimes containing curds, or slightly greenish. Sometimes babies may have more frequent bowel movements, up to 4 to 5 times a day, or even 7 to 8 times, but if they are in good spirits, eating well, and gaining weight steadily, this is also normal. After introducing solid foods, the frequency of bowel movements will decrease. During diarrhea, solid foods should be minimized, focusing mainly on milk, noodles, and rice porridge.
