Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear
welcome to the HCM
3 to 4 times motions are not considered to be cause of concern.
Usually babies may pass frequent stools usually.
Often in bottle fed child some times there is a possibility of getting GUT infection. This may be ruled out by stool culture/sensitivity. Stool C/S can come out with any infection if it is there.
Hope the frequency of stools should settle down after some times the moments the intestines are tuned to this dexolac formulla.
Thanks
