Patient's question:
The baby has frequent bowel movements, and this has been going on for some time. As parents, we are very concerned and hope the doctor can give us some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you described, there are no issues with the child, so there is no need to worry. If a newborn is exclusively breastfed, they will have bowel movements every time they are changed. As long as the stool is green or yellow and soft, it is normal. Since breast milk contains oligosaccharides, exclusively breastfed babies have frequent, loose bowel movements that may sometimes contain some water. They may also pass some stool while passing gas. As long as the baby is in good spirits and has a good appetite, and it does not affect their growth and development, there is no need to worry.
