Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear friend is the child on breast milk?? Or you started something else? Exclusive breastfeeding helps baby to prevent lose motion... Breastfed babies can pass small amount of lose stool daily for 6-8 times... That is normal... Keep watch on frequency of urination... Lose motion can cause dehydration and in infants important sign of dehydration is decreased frequency of urination and fever.... If baby is urinating at least 6 times a day continue breast feeding... No additional treatment required also wight of the infant should be monitored... Kindly state birth weight and current weight... Also state whether the mother of baby has any other illness?? Was she got tested for HIV during pregnancy.... Detailed history of feeding is needed...
