Question
A 60-day-old infant currently has about 7 to 8 bowel movements a day, with loose stools. Is this situation considered normal in breastfed infants? Generally, one to two bowel movements a day for infants of this age are considered within the normal range.
Answer
Dear parents, if your baby has maintained this frequency of bowel movements since birth and there have been no obvious changes, there is no need to be overly concerned. However, it is recommended to bring your baby to the hospital for vitamin K and routine bowel examination. This situation may be caused by infant diarrhea, and some infants may have congenital lactose intolerance, leading to increased bowel movements. In this case, there is no need to be overly worried, but it is important to ensure that your baby receives adequate nutrition.
