Question
An infant who is almost 14 months old has been having bowel movements every 2-3 days in the past, but recently, they are occurring 1-2 times a day. Sometimes the stool is formed, and sometimes it is slightly loose, but the child is in good spirits. Is this an upset stomach?
Answer
Usually, infants are not judged to have digestive badness based on the frequency and character of their stools alone, but rather on whether there is an obvious change from normal, such as an obvious increase in the frequency of bowel movements or an obvious change in the character of the stools. There are many different reasons for infants to have loose stools, and it is not always a sign of bad digestion. If there are abnormalities such as frothy stools, oily stools, oily stools, egg-soup-like stools, tofu-dregs stools, or watery stools, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up consultation.
