Question: My 5 month old son has loose motion from last evening...he was ok at night..now start again at 5:30 am..done three times till now.he is on both breastfeeding and formula milk
Brief Answer:
Loose motion
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
What you describe is very common and generally nothing to worry about. If there is no fever and his appetite hasn't changed, you don't have to do anything. If at any point he develops a fever, or he refuses feeding, I recommend consulting with your doctor so that he may he examined. Otherwise, you may continue with his regular diet and care.
