POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. If your 11-month-old son is having bowel movements after every feed for the past 10 days, this could be due to several reasons:
Possible Causes:
1. Diet Changes: Introduction of new foods or increased fiber can lead to more frequent stools.
2. Digestive Sensitivity: Babies can sometimes have sensitive digestive systems that react to certain foods.
3. Teething: Teething can cause changes in digestion, leading to more frequent stools.
4. Infection: Gastrointestinal infections can cause diarrhea or more frequent bowel movements.
What to Do:
Monitor Consistency: Check if the stools are normal in consistency or if there's any sign of diarrhea (watery, very loose).
Hydration: Ensure your baby stays hydrated, especially if the stools are loose.
Diet Review: Keep a record of what he eats and any changes to his diet that may coincide with the increased frequency of bowel movements.
Consult a Pediatrician: If the frequency continues or if you notice other symptoms (like dehydration, lethargy, or unusual irritability), it's important to consult your pediatrician for a thorough evaluation.
They can help determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate recommendations.
