Question
The baby has bowel movements approximately every two to three days, with normal color and not dry. The baby is breastfed and has been taking Vitamin AD capsules as prescribed by the doctor during this period. Is it normal for the baby to have bowel movements every three or four days? If not, what should be paid attention to? How should it be treated?
Answer
Based on the baby’s condition, such a bowel movement frequency is abnormal. You can try the following methods: (1) Add an appropriate amount of sugar to the milk, adding 10 grams of sugar to 100 milliliters of milk. (2) Give the child some honey water. (3) Pay attention to feeding the child fresh fruit juices, vegetable juices, and apple puree, etc., which are rich in vitamins.
