Patient's question:
The baby has frequent bowel movements. This has been going on for some time for the child. As parents, we are very concerned and hope the doctor can give some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you mentioned, there is nothing wrong 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 a soft, golden color, it is normal. Since breast milk contains oligosaccharides, exclusively breastfed babies tend to have frequent, loose bowel movements that may sometimes contain a bit of water. They may also pass some stool while passing gas. As long as the baby is in good spirits, has a good appetite, and is not affecting their growth and development, there is no need to worry.
