Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Cows milk is known to cause loose stools if given before one year of age.
It's better not to restart cows milk till your baby is atleast one year old.
Persisitent loose stools could also indicate lactose intolerance .
I would suggest you get her stools tested for reducing substances.
If positive stop lactogen and go for isomil armrest for 2 weeks . If negative continue lactogen and the medicines which your pediatrician has given.
Wishing her speedy recovery.
Regards

Dr Arun
