Why does my baby have frequent bowel movements but little stool?

Many young babies will encounter problems with abnormal bowel movements during their growth period. Abnormal bowel movements include many phenomena. Some babies may have green stools, while others may have frequent bowel movements but small amounts of stool. There are different causes and solutions for different phenomena. As parents, we should understand the normal phenomenon of baby's defecation. Only then can we understand what the abnormal bowel movements of the baby are. Let us now understand the reasons why the baby has frequent but small bowel movements.

Normally, there are only 1-2 bowel movements a day, but suddenly the number increases to 5-6 times. This is an abnormal phenomenon and can be considered as indigestion. Observing the stool characteristics of infants and young children can understand their digestion status. If the baby's stool has a strong odor, it means that the protein is not digested properly. At this time, the amount of milk should be appropriately reduced or the milk should be diluted.

If there is a lot of foam in the stool, it means that carbohydrates are not digested properly, and starchy foods must be reduced or even stopped. If the stool looks like cream, it means that fats are not digested properly, and the intake of oily foods should be reduced.

The gastrointestinal system of children is not yet fully developed, so you can add more beneficial bacteria, such as Mami Love and Biostime. Mami Love and Biostime are both beneficial bacteria, which can regulate the gastrointestinal system, and can make loose stools less loose and constipation less dry. Mami Love is moderately priced, while Biostime is more expensive. If you are still worried, you can take your child to the hospital for a routine check-up.

The above content is the reason why babies have frequent and small bowel movements. However, the situations of many babies are different. This is because some babies are breastfed while others are formula-fed. The physical conditions of the two children are different. Therefore, based on the above reasons, mothers need to pay attention to observe the condition of their babies and then carry out corresponding treatment.
