Question

The newborn is about 2 months old and has recently started having frequent and thin stools, along with occasional milk residue. Since three weeks ago, there has been a situation of not being able to hold in stool.

Answer

Breastfed infants usually have thinner stools with an acidic smell and a yellow color, with the frequency sometimes reaching over ten times a day. As long as the baby can eat, play, and sleep normally, has a rosy complexion, and maintains a stable weight gain, such a stool pattern is normal for the baby and does not necessarily indicate diarrhea.
