Is it normal for an infant to pass stools twice a day?
Patient: Hi...my daughter is 9 months old. I started giving her solid foods right from 7th month. She does good. For the past 1 week she passes stools 2 or 3 times a day which is quite not the usual. I gave Econorm sachet 2 times today. Should I consult a peadiatrist or is it normal for the baby. Please advise. -Uma Elamaran Doctor: Hi,Passing stool 2-3 times a day at this age is common by starting solid food.If she is fine, gaining weight and passes urine normally, nothing to worry.you may not require to give any medicine unless frequency increases.Ok and take care.
