6 months old-Runny stools with mucus

2018-10-05 10:19:46
My 6 months old son is pooping greenish yellow runny stools with mucus (not very watery) in fewer amounts 3-4 times a day almost after every feed. He is a formula fed baby and not on solids yet. Baby is otherwise active and peeing normally. Is this Diarrhea?

If the motion contains mucus or blood or it's foul smelling than there could be some infection for which treatment is needed
