Question
Is it normal for a six-month-old baby to have six to seven bowel movements a day after introducing complementary foods?
Answer
After introducing complementary foods, it’s usually due to dyspepsia if a six-month-old baby has six to seven bowel movements a day. Normally, a baby’s bowel movement frequency should be between one and two times per day. It’s advisable to conduct a stool test to determine if there is dyspepsia. Consider giving the baby some digestive aids such asJianpi San (Shenai San), FuB liquid, or probiotics, along with Montmorillonite powder. At the same time, it’s recommended to temporarily stop providing complementary foods.
