Passing stools for every feeding
Hi doctor, I m a mother of 3 months old baby. I m giving both bm&fm. From yesterday my baby is passing gas and stool for every feeding while feeding itself (both bm&fm) in small quantity. She usually passes stools once in a day or once in 2 days. Now she is forcing herself to pass while feeding itself. Stool looks yellow colour, small quantity,not watery( semi solid) kind of seed like structure in it. kindly Advise, Thank you.
