Is It Normal for a Baby to Have Five or Six Bowel Movements a Day? How to Treat and Implement Dietary Therapy?

Question

Since birth, my four-month-old baby has had several bowel movements a day. Now, she has five or six bowel movements daily. I’ve noticed that the stools contain water and milk curds and are slightly green. How should I handle this situation? I’ve already applied a navel sticker, and I’m seeking dietary therapy advice.

Answer

Considering the feeding of breast milk, if the baby is breastfed, this condition may be physiological. If the baby’s growth and development are normal, there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to start introducing solid foods early, as starting solid foods around the baby’s 4 to 5 months of age usually has an improving effect. This is the advice for the question “Is it normal for a baby to have five or six bowel movements a day? How to treat and implement dietary therapy?” I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
