Is It Normal To Have 4-5 Times Bowel Movement In Infants?

Hi,
I have a one year old baby who passes stools at least 4 times a day. He is active, cheerful and playful just like any other toddler. I want to know whether it is fine if he does that...there's hardly ANY day when he is satisfies with just oe turn.

Hi dear,
Congratulations with1year old baby!!!
I figured your concern. You know it can be absolutely normal frequency of emptying intestine at your child if he eats lots of fibres, vegetables,fruits. If colour, smell are not bad,then don't worry. Add in her feeding-rice soup, rice porridge,pomegranates, pears,then she will go rarier. From other side it can be sign of disbakteriosis and insufficiency of lactobacteria,bifidobacteria.Then you can use probiotic- darolac 1 capsule 1 time 1 month
