My daughter 4 month old . totally on breast milk. Passing greenish semisolid stools. Fat globules seen in significant number & sizes. Epithelial cells- 2-4/hpf. pus cells- 3-6/hpf. Mucus & undigested food material seen. Since 15 days. No fever. Wt-7.5 kg. Birth wt 3.22 kg. Taking feeds normally. Passing stools 4-5 times/day associated with froth in stool. T/t- nitrofuraxamine & oflox combination taken for 5 days. still same stools.
Hi I went through your question.your concern is valid but passing 4-5 semisolid stools is normal in a four minth baby provided baby is active , no fever , passing urine adequately , gaining weight adequately.If i were your treating pediatrician i will like to assure you that your baby is gaining weight properly , colour of stool does not matter unless there is presence of blood in it, baby is feeding well , there is no cause of concern.This problem (actually it is normal) will resove at age of 6 months when semisolids are introduced.You need to be concerned if baby if dull , accepting less feed, not passing urine at least 4-6 times in 24 hours , passing large watery stools , there is presence of blood in stools , not gaining weight.
