Question
Is it normal for newborns to defecate 7 to 8 times a day? The stool is a bit dehydrated, and no treatment has been received.
Answer
The newborn has been experiencing diarrhea with loose stools. How is the baby’s spirit and appetite? The symptoms may indicate functional dyspepsia, and probiotics, pancreatic enzyme enteric capsules, and Montmorillonite powder can be considered for supplementation, especially for particularly loose stools. It is recommended to eat small meals more frequently, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and wish the baby a healthy growth.
