Question
My 10-month-old baby has been having frequent bowel movements, approximately 4.5 times a day, since weaning, which has been ongoing for about a month. I’m concerned and would like to know the possible causes and how to improve the situation.
Answer
Based on the description provided by the parents, the infant’s increased frequency of bowel movements could be due to digestive discomfort. It is recommended that the parents give the infant a suitable amount of attapulgite powder and avoid giving too much or too stimulating food. Additionally, it may be beneficial to give the infant some millet porridge to aid digestion. I hope the baby recovers soon, and parents should not worry too much.
