Question

What is the normal state of newborn bowel movements? Are premature infants’ bowel movements different?

Answer

Premature infants’ bowel movements may differ due to incomplete healing of congenital factors. Generally, bowel movements that are neither too dry nor too loose fall within the normal range. Parents can consider using traditional Chinese medicine such as chicken gizzard powder, children’sJianpi San powder, etc., for opsonize. If the effect is not satisfactory, it is recommended to bring the child to the hospital for a detailed examination.
