Pediatrician,  's  Response
Brief answer :
Its normal.

Detailed answer :
A 7 month child may sometimes pass 5 to 6 stools in a day or may pass stools once in 3 to 4 days. This is a normal thing.
Since, there is no fever, urine and stool reports are normal, there is no need to give antibiotics.
Also, there is no need to change gain plus formula. In my opinion, you should give a prebiotic like enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days to increase gut immunity.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
