If a two-year-old baby is not feeling well, they often exhibit crying and fussing, making it difficult for parents to comfort them no matter how much they try to coax them. Faced with this situation, parents need to check their baby's physical condition or take the baby directly to the hospital for a check-up. So, what is the reason for a 2-year-old baby having more frequent bowel movements?
A baby with frequent bowel movements may have an intestinal infection. If the baby's milk utensils are not disinfected strictly or the milk they consume is contaminated, it can easily lead to viral and bacterial infections, causing diarrhea and frequent bowel movements. So for this situation, parents should promptly disinfect the milk utensils used by the baby. If the baby cannot finish drinking milk, parents should handle it in a timely manner.
A baby with frequent bowel movements may also have an extraintestinal infection. Infection of organs outside the baby's digestive tract can also cause diarrhea, commonly including otitis media, pharyngitis, skin infections, and other diseases. Moreover, due to the influence of fever or pathogenic microbial toxins, the baby's digestive system function can be disrupted, leading to frequent bowel movements.
Baby's frequent bowel movements may also be caused by improper feeding by parents. So when parents feed their babies with milk, they should pay attention to the temperature of the milk, as well as the speed at which the baby sucks the milk, and especially pay attention to patting the baby's back in a timely manner to expel any gas from the baby's body, in order to prevent the baby from spilling milk. If formula milk is not suitable for the baby's body, it can also cause diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms. So parents should choose the appropriate formula for their baby.
