How many times does a baby poop in a month?

Children nowadays are always the treasures of their parents and family members. If there is the slightest thing wrong with their body, the family members will become very anxious and rush to send their children to the hospital for treatment. In fact, sometimes there are no such problems. Some of them are just minor problems and parents don’t need to worry too much. Today, let’s discuss the issue of baby defecation.

1-2 times a day is normal, and let him drink more boiled water. At this time, you can supplement calcium and cod liver oil, and get some sun exposure appropriately. It is not uncommon for infants to go two or three days without a bowel movement, so this is still a general sign. Don’t supplement your baby with calcium too early. It is best to supplement your baby after three months. Before three months, the calcium in milk powder can meet the baby's needs, but Icoxin should be supplemented to promote calcium absorption. Take Icoxin once a day, one pill at a time. Calcium is not easily absorbed and requires a lot of gastric juice to digest. Too much calcium can also cause constipation or dry stools. The baby is fed with milk powder and should be replenished with water in time. The amount of water is half the amount of milk. For example, if a baby drinks 60 ml of milk, he should drink 30 ml of water. As long as you feed water on time, your baby will not defecate once every two days.

Generally speaking, it is very common for babies to have "holding stomach", and almost every baby will experience this. If your baby does not defecate frequently, it means that he is absorbing nutrients, which is how he will gain weight. On the contrary, if the baby has bowel movements multiple times a day. It's not ordinary. As long as it does not exceed 5 days, it is considered normal. Some elders have said so. Every child has a habit of “saving their stomach”. Parents don't need to be nervous. If you are worried that your baby's gastrointestinal health is not good, do not give him complementary foods too early. If the food your baby eats is difficult to digest, it will be difficult for him to defecate. Reduce the amount of cod liver oil and calcium tablets, or stop taking them. Let's observe further.

So, sometimes, when something is wrong with a child's body, parents do not need to rush into anything, as long as they have enough knowledge and common sense. In fact, parents can solve some of the baby’s minor problems by themselves at home. It can keep your baby healthy and save him from suffering in the hospital.
