Hello,

Nothing to worry about it, just check for is he corresponding to the growth percentile. Children may pass stools once in three days to 3 to 4 times in a day. It is normal and appetite also little low, so feed him with much amount of smashed vegetables with fruits.

Zincovit drops can be useful. If he passing more gas, then you can use colic aid drops. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat him accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
