Child Is Passing Stool Frequently After Feed. What Could It Be?

Posted on Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Question: My 5 month old is pooping like 6 times a day. I thought it was diarrhea but its not very watery. She goes every time she drinks a bottle and its just a very tiny amount and looks a little mucusy. She has no other sympoms.
