The baby has developed a lot of white tongue coating, and I’m not sure if this is normal. How can I determine if medical attention is needed?
It is usually normal for a baby’s urine to be blood-tinged after birth, but a regular stool examination should be conducted to ensure there is no bacterial infection. Parents should promptly take their child to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment, and pay attention to regular checks and symptomatic treatment.
My child is now 2 months and 20 days old, exclusively breastfed, weighing 11 pounds, and measuring 56CM in height; the current issue is that the baby has a bowel movement every 5 days on average, and the stool is not dry. Is this normal? If a few days without a bowel movement is considered infant constipation, infant constipation generally refers to a decrease in the frequency of bowel movements compared to usual, even 2 to 3 days or more without defecation. However, when determining whether a child has constipation, the consistency of the stool is more important than the frequency. If the stool is soft, without hard lumps, it is normal even if it occurs every 4 to 5 days, which is common in breastfed infants aged 2 to 3 months; sometimes the frequency of bowel movements is normal, but the stool is hard and difficult to pass, with small amounts and granular in appearance, which is considered constipation.
