What causes frequent stools?
Patient: Hi Doctor,My daughter is 5 months 26 days old. she is on Enfamil A+ stage 1 since she was four months. 10 days back she passed semi solid d stool 7 times. Our doc OFM susp BDPC for 5 days and Zerolac for two weeks. But she refused to drink Zerolac summarily. So, after consultation with our doc we restarted Enfamil A+ stage 1. But, today she is again passing frequent stools as before.Kindly advise what to do...Thanking in advance... Doctor: Hi , I'm Dr Suresh K Yadav M D (paediatrics) , I have gone through your question and understand your concerns,Passing stools 7 times a day can be normal in a 6 month baby , if she is active, accepting feed , passing urine adequately , gaining appropriate weight . She is almost 6 months you can start weaning foods like curd , meshed banana  , khichdi,   suzi with low lactose burden that help in less stools .Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.Take care.Thanks.
