Excessive loose motions
Dr., my daughter (1 month old) is doing loose motion 15-20 times a day, mostly immediately after feeding the milk. She is on formula milk+breast feed since birth. However, loose motions have started just a week back. She is getting a bit week owing to this. We are consulting our family doctor but no improvement so far. Could you please help. Also, pl suggest some tonic etc.

Dear Friend,
Please stop giving the bottle feeds to your sweet child...bottle feeds have caused this loose stools for a 1 month old baby . Since u said 15-20 times a day please take her to a near by hospital and get her checked for dehydration ...and continue giving breast milk .
If possible please get the stools tested and give the reports
Thanks
Dr sujit

Dear parents,
For your knowledge
Breast milk is amrit to baby &when available why to give top milk.
Mother milk Increaseswith demand of baby you are curtailing the demand.
Bottle feeding is poisonous in summer.
In routine in the initial months due to gastrocolic reflex when baby is opening mouth to suck anus also open, there by passing stool &while passing gas it do also passes some stool, making total count to 15to20.
If stool is golden yellow colour half solid and half watery with whitish jeera like particles it's absolutely normal. And do not require any treatment.
