Hi my son is 11 months. Nd 7.5 kg.he passes stool 4to5 times a day. Stool is in puree form nor solid nor liquid. He has this problem from last 10 days. My near by pedic gave enterogermina nd vizylac gg sachet twice a day. For three days. But still no improvement. Otherwise he use to pass stool once or twice a day. Do I need to change any medicine. Nd should I stop milk based foods. Or is it normal for him.

No need to give any medicine. See baby passes stool some times 12-15 times a day but this doesn't mean diarrhoea, you only need to continue breast milk. Keep hydrated. Some time stool might red or green. You can stop all medications.

If there is no water loss from stool, child is active and playful, no fever and no blood in stool, appetite is good and no vomiting, I think your baby is alright and you may not worry for just increase stool frequency.

Well stool frequency can increase transitly due to diet changes or may be due to underlying teething process. Start with z&d drops 1 ml once daily for 14 days. And get a stool r/m, stool ph and stool reducing substance checked. If there is any infection we can start with antibiotic.

Dear sir, it seems years baby is not digesting food adequately. After 6 month of age it is usual habit of most of the babies repeatedly keeping their fingers in mouth after touching anywhere due to irritation of erupting teeth which can cause mild stomach infection there for loose puree form stool 4 to 8 times may contain mucus may b foul smelling. This is becoz infection by themself by their own contaminated fingers. These cause improper digestion abdominal cramps n may b oral intake can decrease so I think as I mentioned above findings seen in case of years baby than she require oral antibiotics for 3 to 5 days with probiotics with zinc and anti spasmodic medication on sos basis you will get result in 3 days I am sure one more thing when stomach is not good some foods need to b stopped for relief of stomach n proper digestion. I can advise you which food not to give during this condition if you r agree with my approach you can ask me anytime thank you.

To answer this question properly, you need to tell me many other things like current diet, when did the problem start, was there any associated fever, any rash etc. How is the urine? Only then will my advice be appropriate.
