Pediatrician,  's  Response
Let me assure you that for a child of this age passing stool 10 times a day is as normal as passing stool once in 10 days and in either of the cases there is nothing to worry about. A child often cries due to increased air intake while feeding which may give rise abdominal distension and thereby abdominal colic. Giving Decolic infant drops 6-8 drops as per requirement should give the child relief. This is unrelated to the condition that other family members are suffering from. For them, increase the amount of greeen leafy vegetables in diet and also give fibre supplements like isabgol husk regularly at dinner and things should improve gradually.
