Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me how often a baby should have a bowel movement after breastfeeding for the first few days?Doctor's answer:
Some babies may experience constipation when breastfeeding, while others may have diarrhea. Diarrhea can be caused by lactose intolerance, leading to frequent bowel movements ranging from 2-4 times to 5-7 times a day. It is normal for breastfed babies to have many bowel movements a day. There are many reasons that can cause digestive diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
