A. the consistency is semi solid to solid do not worry about the frequency and this is common Stool- it is very common and normal for small children who are less than 6 months of age not to pass stool for 10 days also and if the consistency of the stool is semi solid to solid there is no need to worry about the frequency as well as colour of stool

Q. My baby grunts a lot while passing gases. Her pediatrician says its normal for kids to do that. But, it still worries me. Is there anything I can do to ease off the process of passing gases and stools for her? She is on solid food now and also occassionally passes thick stools. Otherwise her stools are usually semi-fluid and yellow in colour. She passes stools 3-4 times a day. Is that normal?
