Question

What is the normal frequency of bowel movements for a newborn after one month?

Answer

After a newborn reaches one month of age, due to their underdeveloped intestinal function, there can be significant differences in the consistency of bowel movements based on different feeding methods. For example, breastfed newborns may have more frequent bowel movements and might exhibit pseudo-vomiting. This could be physiological or pathological, so mothers need to learn to differentiate.
