A. 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 could be habitual also .so it needs proper assessment to rule out the cause, but if the smell,coluour and consistency of the motion is moreorless normal and there is no other problem like fever or vomiting you shoudld not worry for now . you can give probiotic enterogermina probiotic 2 times a day and consult doctor for proper treatment if problem continues.

A. hello mum this is very normal in the babies because their digestion is not adapt to all these things yet but if he is passing loose motions every time then this can cause is rehydration so you should call consult with your doctor and start with the medication
