What Causes Frequent Yellow Stools In A 3 Month Old?
Hi my 3 month old daughter has been pooing 5/6 times a day since 48hrs ago. The colour is yellow which i m told is normal and its not excessively runny but is there anything to worry about. She is sucking her hands a lot which might be her starting to teeth. Should we be concerned yet. We also have been giving her water in between feeds to keep her de-hydrated.

Hi,
You did right by giving her fluids to avoid dehydration. The teething doesn't start except after 6 months of age. So the suckling of the hands is just a habit some kids get used to. Since the stools are not runny then no need to worry, as some babies pass stool with every feed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
