How many times does a two-month-old baby poop?

Metabolism is an instinct of our human nature. The frequency of bowel movements of a two-month-old baby, too much or too little, will have a certain impact on the baby's physical health. We can observe the baby's physical condition from the baby's feces. Let us now understand how often a two-month-old baby defecates.

The stool of a breastfed baby is golden yellow, like ointment, and not smelly. The baby defecates 2 to 4 times a day. The stool of a baby fed with formula is harder, light yellow, neutral or alkaline, and has a bad odor. The baby defecates 1 to 2 times a day. If the baby defecates once every 3 days, it means that the baby is a little constipated. The baby's constipation may be due to poor digestion or the baby getting angry. It is recommended that the mother let the baby drink more water, or add some fire-clearing treasure to the baby's water to help the baby reduce the fire. Appropriately massage the baby's abdomen clockwise to promote the baby's digestion, and put a small soap bar in the baby's anus to promote the baby's defecation. If the baby is breastfed, it is recommended that the mother pay attention to her diet and eat light and easily digestible food. The mother can supplement the baby with some probiotics to regulate the baby's intestinal flora, promote the baby's digestion and absorption, prevent diarrhea, reduce constipation, and make the baby's appetite good.

Mothers should not just focus on the frequency of bowel movements and blindly judge that the baby has bowel problems. Because the frequency of bowel movements varies from baby to baby, as long as the stool characteristics are normal, mothers do not need to worry too much about the frequency of bowel movements. I wonder how my baby’s spirit and appetite are during this period when the frequency of bowel movements is relatively abnormal? If you are not affected, there is usually no need to worry. Generally speaking, babies have loose stools and increased bowel movement frequency, which may be due to lactose indigestion. When the baby drinks milk, the lactose in it is hydrolyzed by lactase in the small intestine and then absorbed and utilized. However, some babies are born with a congenital lack of lactase in their intestines, which causes lactose to not be hydrolyzed in the small intestine and directly enter the large intestine. Under the action of large intestinal bacteria, acidic gas is produced, which irritates the intestines and causes abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. Adjusting your diet to reduce lactose intake can restore your life to normal. Breastfeeding mothers can try to reduce the intake of staple foods, that is, carbohydrates. For babies who are fed with milk powder, it is recommended to change the milk powder to a low-lactose or lactose-free formula. International brands such as Abbott have this kind of milk powder, called Qinhu. For babies with poor digestive function, it is best to take this low-lactose hydrolyzed protein formula. The mild small molecules are easier to digest, and the addition of prebiotics helps the baby digest and increase intestinal resistance.

The above is an explanation of the frequency of bowel movements of a two-month-old baby. Metabolism is extremely important to us because we have to metabolize every day and eliminate some toxic substances in the body. The frequency of bowel movements of the fetus. Too many times may be due to poor gastrointestinal function, which leads to diarrhea in the baby. Too few times is because the internal heat in the body is relatively large.
