Question
Is it serious if a 14-month-old baby has bowel movements four or five times a day?
Answer
The 14-month-old baby started having bowel movements four or five times a day after switching to three types of formula milk. Even after switching back to two types, the situation persists. Sometimes, they have two bowel movements in the morning and two in the evening, with no issues during the day. The bowel movements are not diarrhea-like; they are just a bit loose. The baby’s appetite is normal, and they are in good spirits. The parent wants to know how to solve this problem.
