What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements In 7 Month Old?
need help! my son is 7 months..and has no teeth yet.. last week he pooped 5 times + in 24 hours.. our pedia adviced us to have him check. we did urinalysis and fecalysis..all results are normal.. is this a sign of teething or should we change his milk formula? by the way he is using gain plus advance...thanks! we ll wait for feedback..
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. Regards - Dr Deepak Patel MD Pediatrics
