Question
Is it normal for a baby to have diarrhea four times a day suddenly?
Answer
The number of bowel movements a child has is not fixed. As long as it’s regular, whether it’s 5-6 times a day or once every two or three days, it is considered normal. Based on your description, the baby’s stool seems a bit irregular because the consistency alternates between loose and thick, and it occurs shortly after eating, which might indicate rapid intestinal peristalsis. Generally, when a child has gastrointestinal issues, the first suspect is often the mother who breastfeeds. Haha. It’s likely that the mother ate fatty or hard-to-digest foods before or during the baby’s condition, or the mother herself has poor gastrointestinal function. If this is the case, in addition to possibly giving the child some digestive water, yeast tablets, and Mami Love to help, the mother should also undergo treatment; she can take “Changlekang” to help. I hope my answer can be of assistance to you.
