Question
How should I deal with a two-month-old baby who has more than ten bowel movements a day?
Answer
For a two-month-old baby with more than ten bowel movements a day, who is fed a mixture of breast milk and formula, is in good spirits, and falls asleep immediately after eating, the stools may sometimes be loose, yellow watery, or paste-like. After medical diagnosis, it is determined to be physiological diarrhea, and the stool test is normal. In this case, no further examination is needed. However, due to the frequent bowel movements, there is a risk of dehydration, so it is recommended to increase fluid intake. This condition can usually heal on its own.
