What Causes Loose Bowels In 6 Months Old?

HI Doctor, I am Mrs Naik, my son just completed 6months and have recently started him on cerelac (as of now a scoop of rice and a scoop of wheat), which he enjoys eating. However i have noticed he has been passing very loose stool since 2 days. Some say its a sign of teething too (hes already on dentonic)...... is the loose motion a reaction to recently starting cerelac and normal and will eventually pass away?

Pediatrician 's  Response
First of all, stop using Dentonic. It is useless. Secondly, do not label any loose motion as being due to teething unless it clears in less than 48 hours, and is less than 3-4 per 24 hours.

Your contention that they might have occurred due to Cerelac may be correct but you need not stop it. The motions will generally recover within days.
