Question
Newborns with frequent bowel movements often worry parents, who hope to receive medical advice.
Answer
Hello: Based on the situation you described, your child currently shows no abnormalities, so there is no need to be overly concerned. If a newborn is exclusively breastfed, bowel movements may occur with each diaper change. As long as the stool is green or golden in color and soft in texture, it is considered normal. Since breast milk contains oligosaccharides, infants who are breastfed exclusively tend to have more frequent and thinner stools, sometimes with moisture, and even a small amount of stool may be released during flatulence. As long as the baby is in good spirits, has normal appetite, and does not affect their growth and development, there is no need to be overly concerned.
