What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements In A Child?
Not a cause for concern
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
For a baby of this age, it is normal to pass stool several times a day or even after each feed. Alternatively the child may pass stool once in 10 days and that is normal too. Unless the stool is hard and pellet like, you need not grow concerned. It is also normal to pass green stool or a combination of yellow stool. The green colour occurs due to rapid transit through large intestine where the bile pigments do not get adequate time to convert to the yellow colour of stool.
Let me emphasize on the fact that breast milk is the best possible milk for a baby and there can be no alternatives for the same.
You should burp the baby for at least 15-20 mins after each feed. All you need to do is to hold the baby head end elevated for this duration. The extra air taken in would escape and the milk will not regurgitate back from the stomach to the food pipe.
Let me know if you have further queries.
