Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My four months old daughter been having loose stool for 4 days now. She normally doesnt stool everyday, and does it several times in a day when she finally stools. Now am worried the constant loose stool is been on for a while especially after feeding. The stool is in small quantities. Thanks
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Every baby is unique and so is their bowel frequency. Its quite common for babies to pass stools after every feeds. Its due to hyperactive gastro-olic reflex. Distension of stomach by feeds, will promote peristaltic activity in colon and causing evacuation of stools.
If there are no signs of dehydration, baby is accepting feeds well, no redness in anal region then there seems to be no cause for concern
Do get back to me for further queries
Take Care
