Question
How many times should a 40-day-old baby have a bowel movement in a day?
Answer
A one-month-old baby should normally have 1 to 2 bowel movements per day. The color of the stool should be yellow or pale yellow, which is related to the amount of milk the baby drinks. After the first month, in most cases, the frequency of bowel movements should not be less than three times. If it is less than three times, it may be a sign of indigestion or intestinal infection. Further clarification of the situation can be obtained through stool tests.
