Brief Answer:
Could be allergy
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing to us.
Infection is unlikely to recur so frequently.
I would suggest you to rule out Milk allergy or food allergy.
A basic clinical examination along with stool test and blood IgE levels esp againt cows milk will help in identifying it.
Avoid cows milk. Try lactose free milk like soy milk formulas .
Wishing him good health.
