13 month old shitting too many times
My son is 13 months old from the past 2 days he is pooping 7-8 times a day and it is a bit loose and brown in color and diapers are too full with poop. He seems to have reduced a bit of weight but he is active and doing all things as usual. He is on formula feed and solid food. Should I be worried and visit the doctor?
