Question
Is frequent bowel movements in infants, along with abnormal shape, a sign of diarrhea?
Answer
Frequent bowel movements in newborns may be due to spleen deficiency. Attention should be paid to dietary adjustment and warmth, reducing the intake of cold and greasy foods, and increasing the consumption of foods that aid digestion and strengthen the spleen, such as hawthorn fruit and malt porridge. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
