Hi, If the mother has taken some gas causing foods in her diet, it can cause gas as it passes on to the baby through breast milk. Take a pinch of asafoetida and dissolve it in warm water making a paste.Apply this paste around the infant?s navel. This is an excellent gas reliever.

Change his milk. May be he is having transient lactose intolerence. Get his stool tested for ph and reducing substance. Start on low lac or soya based milk. Also decr. Mother's dairy consumption.

Step 1: Stool RM, Reducing substance +Culture & Sensitivity step2: stop bottle feeding if you are giving step3: based on report of stool either need to start sensitive antibiotics if bacterial infection or if secondary lactose intolerance (reducing substance present in significant level) stop milk & need to start low lactose formula feed or Casien based stage 1 formula feed. Keep in strict observation of your treating pediatrician for any sign of dehydration as if it's severe he might need hospitalisation.

A lot depends on what you consider loose motion and what feeds the baby is on. If the baby is on breast milk, even 7-8 semi formed stools are not really diarrhoea. If the baby is not loosing any weight, passing urine normally, feeding normally, not vomiting, it is not diarrhoea. The point is if it is not really diarrhoea, why are we treating it all. In my opinion, all medicines except zinc should be stopped and the baby should continue vigorous breast feeding.
