Question
The baby’s bowel movements suddenly increased on the eighth day, averaging about ten times a day. Is this normal? Can breast milk, formula milk, and glucose affect the frequency of bowel movements?
Answer
According to reports, the baby’s bowel movement frequency is not normal and may be influenced by sugar intake. The color of the stool is related to digestion and could suggest dyspepsia. Consider using a spleen-nourishing powder for treatment. If there is no improvement, a stool test should be conducted for diagnosis and treatment. Ensure the baby is given enough warm water.
