Question
Is it normal for a 10-month-old baby to have three bowel movements a day?
Answer
If the baby is breastfed, the number of bowel movements may be more frequent. As long as the stool is not too loose and does not contain any abnormalities like milk curds, there is no need to worry. As the baby grows older and starts to introduce solid foods, the frequency of bowel movements usually decreases. If you are concerned about your child’s digestion, it is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital’s pediatric department for an accurate diagnosis and treatment advice.
