Question
Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to have a bowel movement every five days?
Answer
A two-month-old baby having a bowel movement every five days may be normal. However, to ensure the baby’s intestinal health, it is recommended to give the baby probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora, promote intestinal peristalsis, and prevent constipation. Additionally, frequent flatulence with an unpleasant odor may be a sign of more gas in the intestines, which can also be normal. But please note that bowel movement frequency and conditions can vary from one baby to another. If you are concerned about the baby’s health, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
