A. Breast feed babies seldom get infection. Your baby might be having a condition called 'lactose intolerance' - the sugar in the breast milk causes frequent loose stools which are acidic in nature and causes parianal redness. Changing over to soyamilk preparations available in the market helps in this condition. However, it is a must to consult your doctor before trying this on your own.
