What Can Cure Loose Motions In An Infant?
my 75 days old grand daughter is having loose motion for the past one week. The motion is loose, watery and yellow and white particles like curd are seen in the motion and motion is done two or three times in a day. She is given breast milk and baby food Similac. The child is quite healthy and no other problems. Kindly advise the reason for this and advise any treatment to be provided. Abraham

Hi,
It is quite common to have this type of stools in infants below 6 months - nothing to worry, and need not consider as diarrhoea. Just try to wean off similac and change to breast milk alone if possible. Sometimes this helps in improving the consistency.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
