How is the child feeding? Breast or top milk? Have you started any thing other than milk? Does he have good activity and play? Need this information to guide further

Please write his diet pattern. It is not possible to advice otherwise. What all do you feed him? Did you introduce any new food? Does he have blood in stools?
Next Steps
If he is active, feeding well and sleeping well, then nothing to worry.
