Question
The 2-month-old baby is fed with breast milk and formula. During the day, the baby eats less, but more at night. The baby often talks incoherently and can release several farts in a row. The baby has bowel movements 3 to 4 times a day and always has hiccups. What was the previous treatment and its effectiveness? We hope to receive some assistance.
Answer
It is normal for a 2-month-old baby to have bowel movements 3 to 4 times a day, and frequent hiccups indicate good intestinal motility, so there is no need to worry. At this age, it is recommended to supplement some preventive doses of vitamin D daily to prevent rickets and promote calcium absorption. You can also allow the baby to get some sun exposure. Starting at 4 months, you can gradually introduce complementary foods. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
