Brief Answer:
Do stool for reducing sugar
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
A 3.5 months baby may sometimes pass stools once in 4 to 5 days or may pass stools 5 to 6 times in a day. Both these things are normal but if it's persisting for long then it's an abnormal thing.
Report is normal and the medicine that you have given are good.
Sometimes, there is allergy to cow milk protein lactogen which results in increased frequency of stools.
I suggest you to do stool for reducing sugar to look for cow milk allergy.
If it's positive then you have to change the milk powder.
Review with report.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
