Question
Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to have two to three bowel movements a day and often pass stool with farts, with the stool containing mucus like snot?
Answer
This symptom may indicate that the baby has mild digestive discomfort. Typically, breastfed babies may have three to four bowel movements a day, while formula-fed babies might have one to two bowel movements daily, but the stool should not be expelled with farts and should not contain mucus. It is recommended to give the baby some digestive aids and probiotics, such as Xingpi Yang’er Wan or Pianxi San, to help regulate intestinal flora and promote intestinal health. We hope the baby can recover soon.
