A. when exclusively breastfeeding, occasional loose to semi-solid stools are normal. if stools are watery and formula is included, consult a doctor to rule out digestion issues or inxfection. probiotics (such as sachet superflora gg daily) and zinc may be needed. continue breastfeeding to prevent dehydration and give ors if there's significant water loss. if blood is present in the stool, seek medical attention immediately as it could indicate dysentery.

Q. Hello doctor, my baby boy is 1 month 2 days old today. From last 15 days or more he is passing water in stool and sometimes he just passes water whenever he farts. He passes seedy yellow stool 5-6 times a day, but passes water while farting much often. Also I feel that he has got worms (जंत) in his intestines. He pees around 8-10 times a day. Nursing normally, weight gain is also normal. Dr please suggest regarding his bowel movements.
