Question
Is it normal for a 1-month-old baby to have yellow, slightly runny stool, given that the baby is 22 days old and has a bowel movement every two days?
Answer
Hello, the baby’s condition should be normal. As long as there are no discomforts, bloating, vomiting, and crying, this is usually a normal phenomenon. The frequency of a baby’s bowel movements varies from person to person, generally ranging from 1 to 3 times a day. Additionally, the baby’s stool does not have a direct relationship with the mother’s diet, but the mother should pay attention to her diet and try to choose low-protein foods. High-protein diets may cause slow gastrointestinal motility in babies, so if the mother’s diet is too high in protein, she should ensure the baby drinks more water. If the baby does not have a bowel movement for three consecutive days or more, consider administering Wang’s Baby Pill (based on individual circumstances).
