My baby is 2 months 1 week old. He has loose motion since 2 days. He was prescribed fiximax suspension 2 weeks back & he was better. Again it has started. What's causing it frequently ? If I intake spicy or pungent food, does it effect for breastfeeding ?

if your baby is feeding well, no mucus or blood in stools, no fever or lethargy and is passing urine normally, there is nothing to worry. A normal gastrocolic reflex causes this at this age. Avoid medications and keep a watch on above mentioned danger signs. else consult a pediatrician.
