Question
My baby is 1.5 years old. She had a bowel movement three times yesterday and today, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening, which was originally always in the morning. Sometimes she has two bowel movements a day, but yesterday and today she had three. However, all of them were formed stools. The baby shows no abnormalities.
Answer
This situation may be related to the baby’s diet, such as drinking more water, eating more fruit, or catching a cold, which may cause an increase in bowel movements. If the stools are formed, you can first observe and pay attention to the baby’s diet and personal hygiene. You can temporarily give the baby some light and easy-to-absorb foods. According to your description, the baby’s stools do not contain mucus or turn green, which is normal soft stools. Please note the baby’s diet and hygiene.
