POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. If an infant is passing stools 4–5 times daily and showing signs like stiffness or being "occupied by flat two limbs" (which may suggest unusual posture or muscle tone), it's important to monitor closely. Frequent bowel movements can be normal for some babies, especially during teething or dietary changes, but if the stools are watery, foul-smelling, or accompanied by discomfort, fever, or poor feeding, it could indicate an infection or digestive issue. The limb concern may hint at neurological or muscular involvement, so it's best to consult a pediatrician promptly for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.
