Many people are not clear or familiar with taking care of their babies and other aspects when they become parents for the first time. For example, how long it takes for a baby to defecate normally is a question that many new parents do not know. Therefore, now the editor will provide a detailed introduction for new parents, how long does it take for a baby to defecate normally?
Babies usually defecate twice a day, but some babies may defecate 5-8 times a day, especially newborns who defecate more frequently. Of course, some babies may not defecate once every 2-3 days. Therefore, even if a baby defecates frequently, it is normal for them to be in good spirits, able to eat and sleep, and not cry.
If the baby only defecates once every 5-7 days, it may be because the baby has hot air. At this time, parents can give the baby more warm water and eat some bananas, which will help the baby defecate.
If the frequency of a baby's bowel movements remains stable, such as once every two days or once a day, and suddenly increases to 3-5 times a day or more, it may indicate that the baby has caught a cold in the abdomen or developed intestinal diseases. Parents should take this seriously. If the baby still has abnormal conditions such as fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, or poor mental state, not eating, crying, etc., they should be taken to the hospital for examination in a timely manner to avoid the baby suffering from diseases that may harm their physical health.
