Dear user,
Stop all medicines and continue nourishing him as you have been doing all the time. Since his routine stool is normal, there is less likelihood of persistent infection. You should, however, consider "lactose intolerance" - a sort of temporary milk allergy - which can be corrected by switching over to soya milk for a week or two. If there is lactose intolerance, giving the baby lactose-free milk will stop the motions within hours.
