Question
Is it normal for a child to have frequent bowel movements and urination, with 7-8 bowel movements and 15 or more urinations in a day? Or is there a problem?
Answer
If the baby’s diet and condition are normal, there is no need to worry. Newborns often have irregular bowel movements during the early newborn period, mainly looking for any distinct odor in the urine and whether the stool is yellow and runny. Newborns’ stools usually do not form, and breastfed infants tend to have more frequent bowel movements. If there is green or white matter in the stool, it indicates mild indigestion. Pregnant women should pay attention to their diet and avoid eating cold and hard-to-digest foods.
