Question
A baby over 20 days old is experiencing chafed buttocks due to excessive bowel movements. Breastfeeding has been stopped and replaced with full formula feeding, but there are bowel movements in the morning, one in the afternoon, and two within two hours in the evening, with each bowel movement being quite large. The morning stool is yellow and somewhat dry, while the evening stool is as shown in the picture. What should be the normal situation?
Answer
Based on the description of the symptoms, the main issue at present is the excessive frequency of bowel movements. It is recommended to take probiotics, as they have good effects with no side effects. Additionally, it is suggested to conduct regular stool checks to confirm whether it is due to enteritis or indigestion. After each bowel movement, clean the baby’s anus and apply diaper rash cream.
