Question
What should a baby’s normal stool look like?
Answer
A baby’s normal stool should be passed once a day or every two days, presenting as yellow and soft. It’s important to maintain a regular lifestyle, increase nutritional supplements of vitamins and proteins, and take careful care to avoid any adverse stimuli. If a baby has difficulty defecating, it can be helpful to try drinking more water, develop the habit of regular daily bowel movements, or appropriately use medications such as intestinal regulators or lactobacillus tablets to regulate the gastrointestinal system. In extreme cases, children’s purpose-made enemas or inserting soap cut into appropriate shapes into the anus can temporarily relieve symptoms.
