Question
Why does my two-month-old baby keep having diarrhea recently? Before, he usually had bowel movements every two or three days, but now it’s very frequent. However, the shape of his stool is still good, not too loose. What could be the cause? Do you have any suggestions?
Answer
The increased frequency of bowel movements in a two-month-old baby may be due to physiological diarrhea or indigestion. If it doesn’t affect the baby’s growth and development, it is usually physiological diarrhea, which often improves after starting to introduce complementary foods. If the frequency of diarrhea is too high, it is recommended to bring the baby for a routine stool test to check for intestinal infections. If it is indigestion, probiotics and digestive Chinese medicine, such as Baby Stomach Strengthening Powder, can be administered. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
