Question
The 5-month-old baby is currently suffering from a severe diarrhea problem, with up to 5 to 6 bowel movements per day. The baby has been experiencing diarrhea since birth, and despite trying various medications, the condition has not improved.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, it is normal for a 5-month-old baby to have up to 5 to 6 bowel movements per day. As long as the baby’s weight gain and development are normal, there is no need to worry excessively. This may indicate that the baby has difficulty digesting lactose and other components in breast milk, which will improve as the baby grows older. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish the baby a speedy recovery.
