Question

Is it normal for a 5-month-old baby to have a bowel movement every three days?

Answer

I’m not sure if the baby’s stool is very dry. If it is, then it’s considered constipation. How is the baby eating? Is it a lot or a little? Sometimes, if the baby eats less, they will have less stool. But if the baby only has a bowel movement every three days, I feel that it’s not quite normal. It’s appropriate to give the baby some vegetable juice, fruit juice, or rice porridge.
