POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Your 4-month-old premature baby girl having increased bowel movements (2-4 times a day) is usually normal, especially if:
The stool is soft and not watery. There is no blood or mucus in the stool. The baby is active and feeding well. Possible Reasons for Increased Poop Frequency: Maturing Digestive System – Preemie babies take time to develop digestion, and changes in stool pattern are common. More Breastfeeding or Formula – If feeding has increased, bowel movements may also increase. Mild Stomach Sensitivity – Any changes in your diet (if breastfeeding) or formula can affect the baby’s digestion. Teething Symptoms (Rare at 4 months, but possible) – Some babies drool a lot, leading to loose stools. Minor Infection or Cold – If she has a mild cold or stomach bug, it could cause more frequent stools. What You Can Do:
✅ Observe Consistency – If stools remain soft (not watery or green with mucus), it’s not a concern.
✅ Keep Baby Hydrated – If exclusively breastfeeding, continue frequent feeds. If on formula, ensure proper dilution.
✅ Check for Other Symptoms – If she has fever, excessive gas, bloating, crying in pain, or reduced urine output, consult a doctor.
✅ Burp Well After Feeds – Helps reduce stomach discomfort.
✅ Monitor for Dehydration – Signs include dry lips, sunken fontanelle (soft spot on head), or fewer wet diapers.
If the baby seems uncomfortable or the stool is very watery, consult your pediatrician to rule out any stomach infection or lactose sensitivity.
