Question
Is it normal for a baby to have three bowel movements a day?
Answer
If the baby does not exhibit symptoms of diarrhea, having three bowel movements a day could be normal, possibly related to indigestion. It is recommended to give the baby pepsin granules and lactase for treatment. If the baby’s stool is purulent or contains blood, it may be a symptom of enteritis. It is advised to bring the baby to the hospital for a routine stool test to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment. If it is enteritis, the baby can be given cefametin granules and Mamy Love, and it is important to drink plenty of water during this period. It is also recommended to avoid spicy, greasy, cold, and irritating foods. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
