Question
A five-month-old male infant has been experiencing a high number of bowel movements daily, with some stools being sticky and even green. How should this be handled?
Answer
Hello, excessive bowel movements in infants can be caused by viral or bacterial infections, or possibly related to abdominal coldness. It’s advised to conduct a regular stool examination to determine the cause. For treatment, you may consider giving Mommy Love (which includes probiotics) orJianpi San (a digestive aid) to regulate the gastrointestinal system. Additionally, regularly massaging the infant’s abdomen can help improve gastrointestinal function. Make sure to keep the baby well-hydrated and maintain warmth.
