What is the normal number of bowel movements for a four-month-old baby?

Some studies have shown that baby's poop can reflect a baby's health. We can check the baby's health from his "poop", especially the frequency and color of the baby's poop to judge whether the child is healthy. Many expectant mothers don't know much about baby's poop, so what is the normal frequency of a baby's poop? Because knowing this can help prevent baby constipation.

There is no uniform pattern for the nature and frequency of newborn bowel movements, but each baby has his or her own "pattern". For new mothers, how to grasp the patterns of their children? What situations are worth noting?

With the birth of Tiantian, the younger sister was suddenly promoted to Tiantian’s mother, and the originally carefree younger sister became very careful. Yesterday my sister called me and asked me, "Sister, why does Tiantian have 4 to 8 bowel movements every day? Does she have diarrhea?" With my sister's question, let's find out what the normal stools of a newborn are like. Normal stool shape and frequency

The stools of breastfed babies are golden yellow, occasionally slightly green and relatively thin; or they are ointment-like, uniform, sour and without foam. Normally, the neonatal period has more bowel movements, usually 2-5 times a day, but some babies may have 7-8 bowel movements a day.

As the child grows older, the frequency of bowel movements will gradually decrease, and after 2-3 months the frequency of bowel movements will be reduced to 1-2 times a day.

Therefore, if a breastfed baby has loose stools or has more frequent stools, parents do not need to worry as long as the baby is energetic, feeding well, and growing in height and weight normally. Women's Private Talk (http://sifanghua.com)

If the baby is fed formula, the stool is usually light yellow or khaki, dry, rough, like a hard paste, and often has an unpleasant fecal odor. If there is more sugar in the milk, the stool may become soft and have a slightly rotten odor, and the amount of stool will be larger each time. Sometimes there is grayish white "milk curds" mixed in the stool.

The normal frequency of bowel movements for babies is 1 to 2 times a day, but if they do not have a bowel movement occasionally, it is not considered constipation. However, if the stool is dry or difficult to defecate, it is very likely a symptom of constipation. If the frequency suddenly increases to 5 to 6 times, the baby's body may be threatened by disease, and mothers need to pay attention to this.
