Newborns are defined as babies from umbilical cord ligation to 28 days of age. The normal number of stools per day for these babies is related to age, feeding mode, etc., and there are also individual variations. For newborns, i.e. babies within 28 days of birth, stool is an important element in assessing the functional status of the digestive tract. Abnormal stools may reflect certain disease states, such as milk protein allergy, infectious diarrheal disease, or neonatal necrotizing colitis of the small intestine. There are individual differences in the number of bowel movements per day for these babies, and they are also related to age and feeding practices. For example, babies within 3 days of birth usually pass meconium stools, about 2 to 4 times a day, and if they do not pass meconium stools within 24 hours of birth, it is necessary to consult a doctor. After adequate feeding gradually become normal baby stools, such as breastfeeding, defecation 2 to 4 times a day; some babies can be more frequent, for 5 to 6 times, such babies as long as the growth and development of normal, good weight gain, is normal. Formula-fed babies have relatively fewer bowel movements per day, about 1 to 2 per day. If you find that your baby’s stool frequency increases, it is recommended that you seek timely medical attention and consult a specialist.
