Question
How many times should a baby have a stool in a day?
Answer
This varies from child to child. If the baby has a well-rounded diet and enjoys drinking water, they may have five to six bowel movements in a day. As long as the child is in good spirits, able to eat and sleep normally, this falls within the normal range. If the frequency of the child’s bowel movements is below this range, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a re-examination. Additionally, if there are any abnormal changes in the color and shape of the child’s stool, it should be paid attention to. It is important to give the baby plenty of water, pay attention to dietary hygiene, and also protect the baby’s abdomen, avoiding catching a cold.
