Question

My baby has a bowel movement every day. Is this normal? My baby has undergone treatment and has improved after taking Chinese medicine, but I still want to confirm whether the current frequency of having a bowel movement once a day is normal. I hope to get some relevant assistance.

Answer

Under normal circumstances, infants should have bowel movements no more than three times a day and at least three times a week. Maintaining a pleasant mood is very important for promoting physical functions and preventing negative emotions. I suggest you relax, relieve your concerns, and understand that your baby’s current bowel condition is normal. As long as there are no other abnormal symptoms, there is no need to worry too much. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby good health!
