Is Pasty Stools In Infants Normal?
My baby is going to be 6months now, since birth I hv been giving him dexolac premium .since we live in Singapore and dexolac is unavailable there, I changed his milk powder to Nan 1 when he was around 5months. Eversince his stool has either been thick paste like or little thin. Doctor in India advised me to continue with NAN pro , bit I feel it is not suiting my baby because of the texture of his bowels. Kindly advice in this regard. Is a paste like stool normal?

hi....
am happy to reply your questions. the paste like stool is due to the formula feed. since he is six month you can start weaning. start giving ceralac, smashed vegetables, pulses. Nan is a good milk product. use proper dilution. 30ml of clean water to me mixed with 1 scoop of milk powder. nothing much to worry about the stool consistency.
if you agree with my suggestions kindly rate me.
