A. If your 4-month-23-day-old baby is having loose motions and the doctor suspects an issue with breast milk (possibly due to infection or food intolerance), here’s what you can do: 1. Managing Loose Motions: Continue giving ORS (oral rehydration solution) in small, frequent sips to prevent dehydration. You can ask the doctor about giving zinc drops and probiotics (like Bacillus clausii), which help restore gut health. Keep the baby clean and well-hydrated; monitor urine output. 2. Feeding Alternatives: Since your baby is not yet 6 months old, formula milk is the only safe alternative: Use a lactose-free formula if your doctor suspects lactose intolerance due to diarrhea. Feed in small amounts every 2–3 hours as tolerated. Important: Do not start cow’s milk or solids yet. Continue breastfeeding if possible and advised, as it still helps build immunity unless your doctor says to stop completely. Please consult your pediatrician again if motions continue beyond 2–3 days or if signs of dehydration appear (dry mouth, no urine, sunken eyes).
