How many times a day is normal for a baby's bowel movements?

Patient's question:

My baby is 28 days old. There are always bubbles in their stool, and occasionally there is also green feces. What could be the reason? How should I handle it?

Doctor's answer:

This is normal for a newborn in this situation; she is gradually adapting. As long as her diet is normal and there are no other symptoms, it should be fine. Considering the child's condition, it's important to first check for calcium deficiency and then consider the possibility of epilepsy. It is recommended to visit the hospital for examination. Do not delay treatment, as blood calcium tests and EEGs can help identify the cause. If it is calcium deficiency, intravenous supplementation should be administered. If it is epilepsy, it is difficult to treat and must be addressed promptly.
