What does on and off loose motions with gas and foam suggest?
Patient: My son is 5 month old, yesterday he passed motions 5 times, sometimes in qty, other times very little foam/gas bubles type. we started cerelac wheat giving only 1-2 teapsoons twice a day. he is also having a calcium/iron/vit d/zinc syrup since 3 days..... today he has done it twice. Is it normal, what to do? pls help Doctor: Hi... it is very common once you start introducing solids. Its nothing to worry about.Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.But I suggest that you start complementary feeding only after the baby completes 6 months of age.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
