Question
How many times should a newborn baby have bowel movements in a day to be considered normal?
Answer
The frequency of a baby’s bowel movements is related to the amount of milk they drink and their digestive health. Two to three bowel movements a day are normal, as are five to six. It’s quite common for a baby to have two bowel movements in a day. I suggest that you help your baby with newborn massage regularly, which can aid in promoting the baby’s growth and development.
