Question
What should I do if my baby has diarrhea four to six times a day? What if my baby has diarrhea four to six times a day but it’s not loose? The patient is a male, two weeks old. The baby has to defecate more frequently after eating a little more. I want to know what’s going on?
Answer
If the baby’s milk feeding and deep sleep are normal, this is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry excessively. Since the baby is currently in the peak period of growth and development, the metabolism is fast, and normal breastfeeding may result in the baby having bowel movements four to six times a day.
