Question

Accepted Answer

frequently passing of motions after meals is generally seen and normal in children unless it is  associated with some chronic infection   like amoebiasis or may be indigestion or couiuld be habitual also .so  it needs proper assessment to rule out the cause, but if the smell,colour and consistency of the motiobn is moreorless normal and there is no other problem like fever or vomiting you should not worry for now .
you can give probiotic enterogermina probiotic 2 times a day and consult doctor for proper treatment if problem continues.

Accepted Answer

yes , ofcourse
amul brand is good.
but as you are introducing it first time, start with small quantity so you may check whether your child is allergic to it or not.

Accepted Answer

hi
mam,first ,as a child is 17 months old,there is no need of formula.
you can offer cow's milk now.
and as per my opinion, if your child looks happy healthy and active, gains enough weight then no need to worry about motions frequency and it's texture.

thank you so much for all your responses.
