A. hi mom, my son is also same age as your baby. at his 3 rd month had same problem. I have visited the doctor for uncontrolled stools after using econorm powder for loose stools. doctors diagnosed it as viral diarrhoea. kept my baby at NICU for observation and treated him. if your baby situation is uncontrollable better consult the doctor.

A. yes should vist if you are giving only breastfeeding then there is a possibility that slightly loose to semi solid stool may be present intermittently. if you see that it is totally watery and also you are giving outside milk then it is advisable to get the child examined by the doctor to rule out any digestion problem or any infection. need of probiotics (sachet superflora gg once a day can be given) and zinc has to be evaluated. in the meantime kindly continue breastfeeding to prevent dehydratixon. you can give ors also if water loss is more if there is blood in the stool then kindly meet the doctor immediately because it can be dysentery also.
