Patient's question:
Drink one to two cups of honey water, lemon water, or orange juice before breakfast is beneficial for bowel movements. So, can babies drink honey water?Doctor's answer:
If a newborn is breastfed, their bowel movements are more frequent, with about five to six times a day. The stool is usually loose and mushy, with a slightly higher frequency. Generally, it is yellow in color, sometimes with a bit of curdled milk, which is not a problem. It is related to the mother's physical condition, such as if the mother eats too cold or greasy food, it can affect the child's bowel movements. Sometimes, if the mother eats too much fat, the child may experience diarrhea.
