Question

Is it normal for a 40-day-old baby to have a bowel movement once a day?

Answer

It is usually important to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, avoids spicy foods, eats fresh fruits and vegetables, and develops a habit of having a bowel movement daily. You can also use some gastrointestinal regulating medications, such as intestinal regulation or lactic acid bacteria tablets, in moderation. If this situation occurs frequently, it is recommended to visit the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause and actively treat it.
