A. gastrocolic reflex is very normal in children. in this phenomena the child is having semi solid to solid stool after every episode of of food / milk intake. if the growth / weight gain of the childx is proper there is no need to worry about this phenomena. usually thisz phenomena decreases with increasing age of the child

But at times this gap increases and generally at night he drinks in 3-4 hours around 90 ml of formula. Is it normal or he's underfed?
