Question
My baby is 40 days old, and during the first month after birth, the stool was always a little bit runny and didn’t come out all at once. Sometimes, just after changing the diaper, a little bit would come out again, and sometimes it would come out with farts, and there were many farts. What could be the reason why my baby’s stool always seems a little?
Answer
A baby’s stool being a little at a time doesn’t necessarily mean constipation; it could also be due to good breastmilk absorption. If the baby’s stool is very little and very dry, it might indicate constipation. Parents can use abdominal massage to help relieve the baby’s symptoms, and if the symptoms are particularly severe, parents should take the baby to the hospital for treatment.
