What Causes Abnormal Stool With Lots Of Bubbles?

Hi, I have just had a bub(12.1.15) and have noticed the last couple of days his poops have been coming out bubbly. It s yellow in colour and they seem to have solid bits in it,it s not runny but when he is actually pooping it s coming out with lots if little bubbles!? I m breastfeeding and he is doing extremely well, he was weighed a week ago and has put on 610gms since birth. Everything else is fine but just wanted to know if this is something I should be worried about ?? Thank you

Hi...this i s completely normal. Please do not worry at all. An active well growing and weight gaining baby is perfectly healthy.
What your kid is having is not a diarrhea and is only a gastro-colic reflux. It is quite common for babies of this age group t pass small amount of diarrhea or loose stools soon after feeds. This need not be treated as diarrhea and especially antibiotics are not indicated.
Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
