Patient's question:
My baby is four and a half months old and has been eating breast milk. She has one bowel movement a day, but when she just turned four months old, she started having 3 to 6 bowel movements a day, with 4 to 6 bowel movements every day. Other than that, her eating and drinking are normal, and she doesn't cry or fuss. Could you please ask the expert what is wrong with my baby? Is she sick or is it breast milk diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
I think you don't have to worry either. Several children of my colleagues were the same as yours, and they took a lot of medicine without any effect. Later, they let things take their course and didn't recover until they were about eight and a half months old. But the child developed very well in all aspects. I think the frequent bowel movements may be related to how much they ate.The above is in response to "My baby is four and a half months old and has been breastfeeding since birth. Their bowel movements became normal after about a month. I hope this helps you."
