The number of bowel movements in a newborn is usually determined by feeding style, and usually 1-5 times per day is normal. If the newborn is breastfed, the number of bowel movements per day is relatively high, usually 3-5 times per day. This is mainly due to the fact that breastmilk is easier to digest and is fed more frequently, which is generally normal. If the newborn is artificially fed, the number of bowel movements is relatively small, usually about 1-3 times a day. This is due to the fact that the newborn’s digestive system is not well developed and the formula milk is more concentrated, which is not easy to be fully digested, thus leading to the phenomenon that the number of bowel movements is relatively low compared to breastfeeding. If the number of bowel movements of newborns is greater than normal or the color, smell and shape of the stool appear abnormal, it is recommended that the family take the newborn to a professional hospital in a timely manner, and under the guidance of the doctor to carry out the relevant examinations, to clarify the cause of the disease and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
