Suggest Remedy For Frequent Bowel Movement?
Hello,
My granddaughter is only 5 weeks old and due to breastfeeding problems is having breast milk supplemented with S26 Soy formula. She has gone from having a bowel movement almost every nappy, to none for the past two days. We realise that it is the formula doing this but what do we do?

Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
For infants up to 6 months passing motions after every feed or passing one motion every 7 days ..both are normal.This behavior can change any time from any type. What is abnormal is hard stools.If that is the case then change formula to increased whey content formula like nan.If motions are soft then don't worry and don't do anything
Happy to help you
Best regards
