The number of bowel movements of newborn babies is not fixed, some babies poop 3~5 times a day, and some can reach 7~8 times, mainly because of the imperfect development of gastrointestinal function, different dietary intake, and different feeding methods. As long as the shape and color of the stools are normal. 1. Imperfect gastrointestinal function: gastrointestinal function is not well developed, sometimes the bowel movement is faster, sometimes slower, resulting in irregular bowel movements, sometimes the number of bowel movements is more, up to 7-8 times, sometimes the number of bowel movements is relatively small, there can be 3-5 times. 2. Different diets: Each child’s weight is different, so there is a difference in the amount of diet, which also leads to a different number of bowel movements and the amount of bowel movements. 3. Different feeding methods: breastfed children have more frequent bowel movements, up to 7-8 times, while formula-fed children have less frequent bowel movements, up to 3-5 times. Newborn babies bowel movements are not fixed, you can observe the color of the child’s stool, the state of the child, etc., when there is an abnormal stool, it is recommended to go to a professional pediatric hospital for routine stool examination, to understand the child’s digestive tract is normal.
