Is there any weight loss or signs of any degydration if not no need to worry. And giving both mother and top feeds can cause this kind of patter. If the child passes urine more than 5 times a day on only mother feed than no need to give top feeds or bottle feed..
Solids can be started a 6 months completion of childs age.
Usually if its lactose intolerence it will continue for 14 days
You need to keep a watch on weight and activity of child.. if there is no problem than nothing to worry
