Question
How should parents adjust if their 40-day-old baby has an increased number of bowel movements?
Answer
An increased number of bowel movements in a 40-day-old baby may be caused by dyspepsia. It is advised to avoid feeding the baby fatty foods and consider using Ba He Wan for treatment. Alternatively, roasting and shelling pumpkin seeds and then boiling them can also be effective. These methods are often helpful in improving the symptoms. Additionally, attention should be paid to the child’s dietary hygiene, avoiding picky eating and maintaining good living habits. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
